Characteristics of court portraits of emperors throughout the ages

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the court portrait works of emperors in European history, aiming to comprehensively sort out their development context and deeply analyze the specific evolutionary characteristics. The court portraits of European emperors are not only artistic creations but also visual records of politics, culture, and society. They carry the spirit of the times and reflect the ideology of the ruling class, which is of great significance for the study of art history and also provides a unique perspective for understanding the historical evolution of Europe. By discussing these portraits, we can gain insights into the symbols of power, aesthetic concepts, and the integration of cultural exchanges in different periods, which helps to deepen our understanding of the overall history and culture of Europe.
