]]> Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was portrayed by the Italian artist Titian after his victory over the Smalkada League, led by Protestant nobles. Faced with the religious rebellion that had arisen in the imperial states in the heart of Europe following the reformism proposed by Luther years earlier, Charles V took action to prevent the break-up of one of his territories over politico-religious issues. Although the significance of the emperor’s victory is political in nature, the religious connotation should not be forgotten, in which Catholicism defeats Protestantism. Thus, in the image, Charles shows the Virgin with the child on her breast in a clear allusion to the fact that God is on his side. The meaning of this painting is to show Charles not as a victor, but as an emperor capable of ruling over the different and diverse states and religions that made up the Hispanic Monarchy. Artistically, it is a novel work for the European imagination, as it synthesises the Roman equestrian portraiture begun in the Renaissance period, which would reach its apogee in the second half of the 16th century.

]]> Explanatory video about the scientific revolution and the advances in art, with the expansion of the Baroque. The Renaissance humanists with their critical spirit had challenged many traditional principles and beliefs. Throughout the 17th century, this evolution culminated in the application of new scientific methods that were fundamental to the scientific revolution that took place from that time onwards in the 17th century, where the scientific method was consolidated in an era in which theocentrism predominated, i.e. everything revolved around God. This laid the foundations of modern science through the principles of experimentation or empiricism. In short, Humanism’s evaluation of man gradually pushed religious beliefs, which had dominated science in medieval society, into the background. In this way, progress was made in the knowledge of physics, medicine, astronomy and biology, among other disciplines. In architecture, sumptuous palaces and religious temples were designed. The taste for decoration of both exteriors and interiors increased. In sculpture, the quest for exalted movement, a certain naturalism, theatricality and decorativism increased.
