The representations of Charles V (1500-1558) made during his lifetime have been more thoroughly studied than those made after his death, perhaps because the imperial character of posthumous representations is less evident. Nonetheless, some of these representations could still convey such a character to respond to a political necessity. At the time of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), this was the case of Antoon Van Dyck’s Charles V on Horseback. This article sheds new light on the origins, the commissioning and the date of execution of this painting by deciphering the imperial ambition which is inscribed in the painting.

Nonetheless, some of these representations could still convey such a character to respond to a political necessity. At the time of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), this was the case of Anton van Dyck's Charles V on Horseback.

Technical examination of a group of similar portrait busts of Charles V. Preliminary results
This article presents an in depth examination of three freestanding life-size portrait busts of the young Charles V in Belgian collections, respectively in the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, the Gruuthuuse collection in Bruges and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, and of one bust in the collection of the MuseoNacionalColegio de San Gregorio in Valladolid, Spain.The striking similarity between these different portrait busts of Charles V could not be denied but up until now no thorough materialtechnicalstudy had been carried out. The aim of this preliminary study is to obtain some answers concerning materialtechnical data and the chronological relationship between these busts. Special attention was paid to their authenticity.
Pieter de Hooch’s window shutter with the Habsburg Emperor Charles V (1661)
Oud Holland – Journal for Art of the Low Countries
This article deals with Pieter de Hooch’s enigmatic painting Woman holding a basket with beans in a garden of 1661 (Kunstmuseum, Basel), and, more specifically, with the identity of the man depicted on the window shutter of the building in the foreground of the painting. The author argues that this portrait, which was hidden behind a layer of paint for a long time and only uncovered sometime between 1913-1927, represents the Emperor Charles V, whose portrait still decorates many buildings in the Netherlands. It is also argued that the building in the background of the painting can be typified as a ‘hofje’ or almshouse, and that its architecture resembles that of the Leiden Eva van Hoogeveenshofje, built by the architect Arent van ‘s-Gravesande in the 1650s. This suggests that De Hooch did not only paint locations in Delft and Amsterdam, but also in Leiden. The Dutch Republic’s seventeenth-century ‘hofjes’ were renowned, eliciting praise from foreign visitors, not only because of the...
