EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece of Flemish art depicting the Assault on Asilah in the 15th century. Created in the manufacturing workshop of Tournai, most likely by Passchier Grenier, these tapestries showcase the conquest of Asilah and Tangier by Alfonso V of Portugal.
The scene depicted in this particular cloth from the series shows English fleet masts looming in the background as soldiers engage in battle within the city walls. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship bring to life this historic moment with incredible detail.
The tapestry not only serves as a visual representation of a significant event in history but also highlights the skill and artistry of Flemish weavers during that time period. Each thread tells a story, each stitch adding to the grandeur and complexity of this monumental piece.
Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, these tapestries are not just works of art but windows into a bygone era filled with war, royalty, and cultural exchange between Europe and North Africa.
As you gaze upon this photo print, let yourself be transported back to a time when battles were fought at sea and kings ruled over vast empires - all captured within the threads of The Pastrana Tapestries.
