EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece of Flemish art from the late 15th century. Created in the manufacturing hub of Tournai, possibly by Passchier Grenier's workshop, these tapestries depict Alfonso V of Portugal's conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471.
In this particular cloth from the series, we see English troops landing on boats as they prepare for battle. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship bring to life a pivotal moment in history when Africa was at the center of European ambitions.
The tapestry not only showcases a military confrontation but also highlights cultural exchanges between Europe and North Africa. It serves as a testament to the rich Arab civilization that influenced medieval art and politics.
Displayed at the Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, this piece is a reminder of the power dynamics and royal ambitions that shaped our world centuries ago. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such intricate tapestries and the historical significance they hold.
