This stunning print captures a detailed scene from the Pastrana Tapestries, specifically depicting the Disembarkation in Asilah in 1471. The tapestry, dating back to the early 15th century, showcases the conquest of Asilah and Tangier by Alfonso V of Portugal. In this particular cloth number 1 of the series, we see shipwrecked Portuguese soldiers during the siege.
The craftsmanship and artistry displayed in this Flemish tapestry is truly remarkable. It is believed to have been manufactured in Tournai, possibly from the workshop of Passchier Grenier.
