GLORIA, LA, Titian, Madrid Museum; canvas, H. 11 ft. 4 in. × 7 ft. 10 in.; signed. High in the heavens, in a halo of light, the Father and the Son are seated, with crystal orbs and sceptres in their hands; around them countless cherubim and seraphim fading away in a brilliant mist; lower down in the clouds the Virgin stands interceding for sinners, at whose head Charles V., to the right, with the crown at his feet, is kneeling; behind him is the Empress; lower down Mary of Hungary, Philip and his sister, all in winding-sheets, praying; still lower are Job (portrait of Vargas), Moses, Noah, and the Magdalen, and to the left in ascending lines the Evangelists and Prophets. Painted in 1554 for Charles V., who ordered it as a record of his intention to quit the throne. On his abdication (1555), he took it, with other pictures, to the Monastery of Yuste, where it was hung at the foot of his bed. Charles ordered the picture, which he called the Last Judgment, to be placed after his death on the high altar of the Monastery, but Philip removed it to the Escorial, from which it passed to the Museum. Sometimes called also the Trinity. Engraved by Cort; in reverse by Hondius.—Vasari, ed. Mil., vii. 451; C. & C., Titian, ii. 232; Gachard, Retraite et Mort de Charles V.
