Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 12.8 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 15.2 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 59.1 × 34.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Titian's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 205 × 114 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Alte Pinakothek, Munich, Germany. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Titian, the renowned Venetian master, first encountered Charles V, the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, in 1533 during their meeting in Bologna. This fateful encounter marked the beginning of Titian's role as the court painter for the emperor. In the subsequent years, Titian spent significant periods in Augsburg, the imperial capital, further solidifying his relationship with Charles V.

In his paintings of the ruler, Titian captured a majestic portrayal, yet one devoid of outward grace, with Charles V depicted wearing somber black robes. The emperor's weariness and contemplative nature were evident in the artworks, presenting him as a brooding figure. Titian skillfully balanced the composition of these portraits, not only focusing on the striking interplay of golden blacks and reds but also emphasizing the meticulous arrangement of vertical and horizontal lines. Such attention to detail brings forth a sense of order and harmony to the artworks.

Furthermore, one should not overlook Titian's significant contribution to Italian landscape painting. The backdrop of these portraits often revealed a serene evening landscape, serving as a gentle reminder that Titian was not only a portraitist but also a pioneering figure in landscape art.

With his remarkable talent, Titian effectively captured the essence of Charles V, portraying him in a regal yet introspective light. These paintings not only resonate with immediate impact but also showcase a masterful command of composition and a groundbreaking approach to landscape art, solidifying Titian's enduring legacy.
