EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece from the manufacturing workshop of Tournai, most likely created by Passchier Grenier around 1471-1475. The tapestry depicts the Assault on Asilah as part of the series on the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal.
In this particular cloth, we see English soldiers engaged in battle, showcasing their armor and weaponry with remarkable realism. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship highlight the skill and artistry of Flemish tapestry production during this period.
The historical significance of this piece is evident in its portrayal of a key moment in European-African relations, capturing a clash between two worlds with precision and drama. The scene conveys not only the military confrontation but also offers insights into cultural exchanges between Africa and Europe during that time.
Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, these tapestries are a testament to both artistic excellence and historical storytelling. This photograph allows us to appreciate every thread woven into this narrative from centuries past.
