Peter Paul Rubens completed this portrait of Emperor Charles V in armor, likely after Titian's famous original. The composition conveys the imperial authority of the most powerful ruler in 16th-century Europe.
Rubens often copied and reinterpreted works by masters he admired, particularly Titian. His version adds the energy and color characteristic of Baroque painting. This work remains in a private collection.
