	Charles's V by Raichel Le Goff
		Although born in humble Ghent, Charles V the Holy Roman Emperor was not only ruler of Flanders and The Netherlands, he also inherited the crowns of Spain and the Two Sicilies and conquered large tracts of Central and South America.
		Tiziano's biographer Charles Hope comments that Charles V "had little interest in painting as such" and little regard for artists themselves and was really only interested in perpetuating his fame through portraits.
		It is true that he did not commission such lavish sensual mythological paintings as his son Philip later would and the 'Venus and Amor' by Titian and his workshopp on loan from the Uffizi in the present Bonn exhibition is perhaps mis-representing the taste of Charles V as he did not commission the picture.
