Title: A Triptych depicting Charles V as King of Spainĭimensions: 97.7 x 67.3 cm (centre panel) 97.7 x 33.4 cm (wings) Listen to the interview with Geoffrey Parker about his book Emperor: A New Life of Charles V (Yale University Press, 2019) or download it as an Apple podcast. It depicts Charles after his election as Holy Roman Emperor in 1519. ![]() Circa 1545, he painted a series of 35 panels, featuring the coats of arms of the Knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece for the Great Church in The Hague.Ī later version of Jan van Battel’s tryptych can be found in the collection of the Historisches Museum in Berlin. The Mechelen-based painter Jan van Battel regularly worked for the Habsburgs. The four corners of the centre panel feature the coats of arms of the families to which he belongs: the houses of Habsburg (top left), Burgundy (bottom left), Aragon-Sicily (top right) and Castile-Leon (bottom right). He is flanked by the coats of arms of the territories that he would go on to rule: the Spanish territories in the circle, the Habsburg ones on the left wing and the Burgundian ones on the right wing. The centre panel depicts Charles V as King of Spain, wearing a red royal cloak and holding the royal regalia (the sceptre and the sword). With this painting, Mechelen possibly may have wanted to demonstrate its loyalty to Charles V, while highlighting the important role that the city had played in his education. The stewards managed all the city’s assets and buildings. Jan van Battel painted this triptych for the steward’s room in Mechelen’s town hall.
