From the 1530s, Italian writers and artists worked to conceal Charles V's unpleasant physiognomy with the imperial idea he had to express.The result, mostly the portraits by Titian, was to become the model for all new representations of the sovereign, in such a fundamental way that this model substituted the physical face of Charles V in European imagination and became his true image.The prognathism thus refined and associated with the most eloquent figure of power, became in itself a positive element that could be removed from the physiognomy of Charles V to be applied to another face, just like a posticcio: as a dynastic mark to legitimate successors and even predecessors of the Emperor; as a physiognomical sign that could express princely virtues -- like majestas or gravitas -- in men of every social status; as an heroic pattern to give emphasis to male portraiture.
