Description |
English: Rubens was distinguished by his success as an artist and his skill as a diplomat. In 1624 the Spanish King Philip IV (1605–1665) raised him to the nobility.
In 1603/04, as court painter to Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga II (1594–1627), he travelled to Spain on a diplomatic mission. Here he encountered the powerful dynasty of the Habsburg rulers, whose display of splendour emulated that of Charles V (1500–1558), and studied the emperor portraits of Titian (1477–1576). On his return to Mantua, he made a copy of a painting by Parmigianino (1503–1540) belonging to the Duke – the "Allegory of Charles V as Ruler of the World". Charles’s status as supreme military commander is shown by the shining armour with white heightening and by the sword in his left hand. The insignia of his office, crown and sceptre, are further symbols of his power. The cape he wears over his armour is set with pearls and precious stones, completing the imposing imperial figure. On a red ribbon around his neck is the Order of the Golden Fleece, of which as sovereign he is the Grand Master. A genius holding a globe symbolises the emperor’s wide-ranging dominion.
Deutsch: Rubens zeichnen künstlerische Erfolge und diplomatisches Geschick aus. 1624 erhebt ihn der spanische König Philipp IV. (1605– 1665) in den Adelsstand.
Bereits 1603/04 reist der Hofmaler Herzog Vincenzo Gonzagas II. (1594–1627) in diplomatischer Mission nach Spanien. Hier erschließt sich ihm die mächtige Dynastie der herrschenden Habsburger, deren Prachtentfaltung Karl den V. (1500–1558) zum Vorbild hat. Rubens setzt sich mit den Kaiserbildnissen Tizians (1477–1576) auseinander. Zurück in Mantua fertigt er nach einem im Besitz des Herzogs stehenden Gemälde Parmigianinos (1503–1540) die "Allegorie auf Kaiser Karl V. als Weltenherrscher". Seine Position des wehrhaften Kriegsherrn zeigt sich durch die von Weißhöhungen glänzende Prunkrüstung und das Schwert in seiner linken Hand. Die Herrscherinsignien Krone und Zepter sind weitere Symbole seiner Macht. Perlen und Edelsteine zieren das über der Rüstung getragene Cape, das die imposante Erscheinung des Kaisers abrundet. An einem roten Band trägt Karl V. den Orden des Goldenen Vlieses, dem er als Großmeister vorsteht. Ein Genius kündet mit der Weltkugel in Händen vom weitreichenden Herrschaftsgebiet des Kaisers. |
