Charles V of Austria, also known as Charles I of Spain, was a powerful ruler who left a lasting impact on European history. Born in 1500, he inherited an extensive empire that included territories in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. One of the most iconic portraits of Charles V is the one painted by Lucas Vorsterman around 1620-30. This portrait captures his regal presence and showcases his authority as Emperor. Another notable depiction is Plate 19 from Johannes Meursius and Willem van der Beke's work, which shows a triumphal arch with Ferdinand atop a cloud. This symbolizes Charles' military victories and dominance. Plate 22 portrays Charles' victory at Pavia during the Italian Wars. Created by Jacob Neeffs, Johannes Meursius, and Willem van der Beke in 1636, this artwork highlights his military prowess. Similarly, Plate 23 depicts Charles' campaign in Africa during the same period. The Procession of Counts and Countess of Holland on Horseback painting from 1518 features Mary of Burgundy alongside Maximilian I (Charles' grandfather). It represents their influential roles within the Habsburg dynasty. Libertas Germaniae by Hans Baldung showcases Charles as a defender of German liberties in 1519. This piece reflects his efforts to maintain peace within the Holy Roman Empire. Various other artworks depict different aspects of Charles' life and reign: an anonymous portrait from around 1550 emphasizes his imperial status; another anonymous portrait facing right captures him between ca. 1520-1540; Augustin Hirschvogel's portrayal from 1546 exhibits him wearing armor; an unknown artist created an intricate medal in the eighteenth century commemorating his rule. Additionally, there are physical artifacts associated with Charles V such as tassets made for him in Augsburg around ca. , 1500-1558 or a model basilisk cannon from 1523.
