The "Portrait of Charles V, 1519-20" is a significant work by the Flemish Renaissance painter Bernaert van Orley. This portrait is notable for its historical and artistic value, capturing the likeness of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, during a pivotal period in European history. Charles V, who reigned over a vast empire that included the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, and the Habsburg Netherlands, was one of the most powerful monarchs of his time. The portrait, created between 1519 and 1520, coincides with Charles's ascension to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, marking a moment of immense political importance.

Bernaert van Orley, a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance, was known for his detailed and realistic portraiture, influenced by both Flemish traditions and Italian Renaissance techniques. In this portrait, van Orley employs a meticulous approach to capture the emperor's regal bearing and the intricate details of his attire. The painting reflects the artist's skill in rendering textures, such as the luxurious fabrics and the ornate decorations of Charles's clothing, which signify his status and wealth.
