Emperor Charles V
ca. 1530/35 | Karl I. (V.) (1516-1556), als Karl I. König von Spanien, ab 1519 deutscher König, ab 1520 Kaiser
During their lifetime various types of portraits in different media depicting the imperial brothers Charles V and Ferdinand I were disseminated throughout Europe. A portrait popularized the sovereign’s features, served as a reminder of him, and even represented him when he was absent. The emphasis on family connections with predecessors – such as their grandfather Emperor Maximilian I – and descendants signalled the continuity of the dynasty’s power and legitimacy.
