EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece of Flemish art from the 15th century. Created in the manufacturing city of Tournai, most likely by the skilled hands of Passchier Grenier's workshop, these tapestries depict a pivotal moment in history - the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal.
In this particular scene titled "The taking of Tangier," we see the inhabitants leaving the city under the protection of the lord of Asilah. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship bring to life a dramatic battle scene set against the backdrop of North Africa. The tapestry measures an impressive 404 x 1082 cm, showcasing both its grandeur and attention to detail.
As we delve into this historical narrative woven into fabric, we are transported back in time to witness a clash between armies, kings asserting their power, and Arab civilization at its peak. This piece not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also as a valuable historical artifact shedding light on medieval warfare and cultural exchange.
Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, these tapestries continue to captivate viewers with their timeless beauty and rich storytelling.
