246 EAKLY ITALIAN PAINTERS.
truest commentary on their lives, deeds, and
works.
Charles V.: Titian painted this Emperor seve-
ral times, with and without his armour. He has
always a grave, even melancholy expression ; very
short hair and beard ; a large square brow; and
the full lips and projecting under-jaw, which be-
came a deformity in his descendants.
His wife, the Empress Isabella, holding flowers
in her hand.
Philip II.: like his father, but uglier, more
melancholy, less intellectual. The Duke of De-
vonshire has a fine full-length, in rich armour.
There is a very good one at Florence, in the Pitti
Palace; and another at Madrid. In the Fitz wil-
liam Museum at Cambridge is the picture called
“ Philip II. and the Princess Eboli,” of which
there are several repetitions.
Francis I.: half-length, in profile; now in the
Louvre. Titian did not paint this king from na-
ture, but from a medal which was sent to him to
copy.
The Emperor Ferdinand I.
The Emperor Rudolph II.
The Sultan Solyman II. His wife Roxana.
These are engraved after Titian, but from what
originals we know not: they cannot be from na-
ture.
