Charles V Ghent 24.2.1500-21.9.1558, Spanish King 1516-1556, Roman King 1519-1556, Emperor 1530-1656, marriage to Isabella of Portugal (Lisbon 1503-1539 Toledo) - the only wife of Charles V of the House of Habsburg -, Holy Roman Emperor from 1526 onwards. She bore him 4 children. ;
The history painting depicts an event from the year 1520. The crowd scene is based on an idea Makart found in notes by Albrecht Dürer. Stylistically, Makart borrows from Rubens and Titian when he shows, next to the Emperor Charles V, a multitude of extras dressed in various fashion styles in the historicist manner and half-naked women. ;
Some contemporaries recognised in the painting the portraits of well-known figures from Viennese society, for example Johanna Elisabeth Maria von Klinkosch (1848-1925) later Countess Liechtenstein, a favourite model of Hans Makart, is portrayed in the act of scattering flowers near the Emperor. The same is true for her sister Paula (1851-1901), both daughters of the Viennese silver manufacturer Josef Carl von Klinkosch. Hans Makart was awarded a gold medal at the Paris World Exhibition, and his exhibition at the Vienna Künstlerhaus was very successful. ;
In 1882, the monumental painting was sold to the Hamburger Kunsthalle for 130,000 marks. During WWII, it was stored rolled up in the museum’s deposit, and decades later it was restored to a high standard. Until 2016, it was hidden behind a plaster wall because it did not fit into the exhibition concept. In 2020, Makart’s "Entry of Charles V into Antwerp" was displayed again in the course of an exhibition about the artist.
