Created by the Flemish School in the 15th century, this wool and silk masterpiece measures an impressive 368x1108 cm. Currently housed in the Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, it is a true testament to European cultural heritage. The intricate details of this tapestry are truly awe-inspiring. In this particular section, we witness the encirclement of Arcila (El cerco de Arcila), one of King Alfonso V's notable victories. The artist, Paul Maeyaert, skillfully captures every moment with precision and artistry. As we delve into history through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when kingdoms clashed and empires were built. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship bring these conquests to life before our eyes. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights the techniques used by masterful artisans during that era.
