The Masterpieces series is a collection that analyses great works of universal art that are indispensable references within our culture. Each book offers a detailed study of a masterpiece, with a compilation and update of the selected pieces written by top experts and with a spectacular graphic layout. In this book, Fernando Checa analyses this portrait commemorating the emperor's victory over the Schmalkaldic League in April 1547, the painting's historical context, the meetings of the painter and his sitter and, above all, the importance both men attached to enhancing their social importance and prestige through art: in Titian's case, as an artist who performed his work under the protection of the power and the emperor with the clear objective of consolidating his image as a Christian gentleman.
