EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite detail from the Pastrana Tapestries, specifically Cloth Number 2 of the series on the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal, showcases the Portuguese fleet preparing for the siege of the fortified city of Asilah. The tapestry, manufactured in Tournai, probably from the workshop of Passchier Grenier, is a prime example of Flemish art from the Western European early modern era. The intricate design depicts a fleet of Portuguese ships, their sails billowing in the wind, as they prepare to engage in battle. The armament on the ships is evident, with cannons and other weapons ready for use. The detail and realism of the textile are remarkable, making it a valuable piece of decorative arts and textiles from the time. The Pastrana Tapestries are a series of seven tapestries that depict the conquest of Asilah and Tangier by Alfonso V of Portugal in 1471. These tapestries were likely commissioned by the Portuguese monarch himself and were created in the Flemish city of Tournai, which was renowned for its tapestry production during the late medieval period. The Pastrana Tapestries are now housed in the Collegiate Tapestries Pastrana Museum in Guadalajara, Spain, and are an essential part of the Castilian-Manchegan artistic heritage. They provide a unique insight into the military campaigns of the late 15th century and the role of textiles in the decorative arts during the early modern era.
