Painting:: Titian state portrait of Emperor Charles V at Mehlberg established a new genre,

Titian's state portrait of Emperor Charles V at Mehlberg (1548) established a new genre, that of the grand equestrian portrait. The composition is steeped both in the Roman tradition of equestrian sculpture and in the medieval representations of an ideal Christian knight, but the weary figure and face have a subtlety few such representations attempt.
