EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry depicting the conquests of King Alfonso V of Portugal. Created by the Flemish School in the 15th century, this intricate piece measures an impressive 368x1108 cm and is currently housed in the Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain. The tapestry focuses on a specific event known as the Encirclement of Arcila (El cerco de Arcila). This particular detail portrays the intense siege and capture of Arcila, showcasing both the military prowess and strategic brilliance of King Alfonso V. The wool and silk materials used add depth and texture to this historical masterpiece. With its rich cultural heritage, this tapestry serves as a testament to Europe's artistic legacy. It not only highlights important moments in Portuguese history but also demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship of Flemish artisans during this period. As we admire this print captured by A© Paul Maeyaert, we are transported back in time to witness an era defined by conquests and territorial expansion. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with history, allowing us to appreciate both beauty and significance within one frame.
