Description: Charles V (1500-1558) Holy Roman Emperor 1519-1556 and king of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), founder of the Habsburg dynasty. He inherited the Spanish throne in 1516 after the death of his maternal grandfather Ferdinand of Aragon and the crown of Germany in 1519 after his paternal grandfather Maximilian I's death. In 1520 he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor at Aachen, having defeated Francis I of France for the election, and became the most powerful monarch in Europe at the age of 19. The ensuing years were dominated by virtually continuous wars with France for possession of Italy, and by series of fruitless attempts to achieve religious unity in Germany. In 1525 Francis I was defeated at the battle of Pavia and taken prisoner, but repudiated the subsequent treaty as soon as he was released. Charles invaded Italy and in 1527 captured and sacked Rome. The Treaty of Cambrai (1529) brought a temporary peace, and Charles made a triumphal procession through Italy and in 1530 was crowned by the pope as emperor and king of Italy. The war broke out again in 1536, when Francis I invaded Savoy, and again in 1542, until a final truce was arranged through the Treaty of Crepy (1544). Charles also beat off an attack by the Ottoman empire with the siege of Vienna by the sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. On the religious front Charles worked hard to try to cope with the tide of Protestantism which threatened to split his empire. Charles extended Spanish dominions in the New World by the conquest of Mexico by Cortes and of Peru by Pizarro. In 1527 he married Isabella of Portugal (1503-1539), by whom he had a son Philip, future Philip II of Spain.

Biography: Titian or Tiziano Vecellio, the head of the Venetian school, and one of the greatest painters that ever lived, was born of a good family, at Capo del Cadore, in the Frulian Alps, in the year 1477, or according to some in 1480. His predilection for drawing caused his father to send him to Venice at the age of ten, that he might learn to be a painter.

The first work that brought Titian prominently into notice was his completion of the "Homage of Frederick Barbarossa to Pope Alexander III." (1512), begun by Giovanni Bellini, but left unfinished by that artist at his death.

A complete catalogue of Titian's works does not exist, but the number known is extraordinarily great - upwards of 600. Titian died of the plague in 1576, having attained the extreme age of 99. As already observed, he had a tendency at first to reproduce the style of acknowledged masters, but his genius soon emancipated itself from all imitativeness, and displayed a glorious originality and power.
