EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece of Flemish art from the 15th century. Created in the workshop of Passchier Grenier in Tournai, Belgium, these tapestries depict scenes from the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal.
In this particular tapestry, titled "The taking of Tangier," we see the inhabitants leaving the city under the protection of the lord of Asilah. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship bring to life a historic battle scene, showcasing soldiers, children, and royalty amidst a backdrop of war.
The sheer size and complexity of these tapestries are truly awe-inspiring, with each thread telling a story that has stood the test of time. Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, these works are not just pieces of art but windows into a bygone era.
As you gaze upon this photo print, let yourself be transported back to late 15th-century Europe and marvel at the skill and dedication it took to create such masterful tapestries. The legacy of Passchier Grenier's workshop lives on through these exquisite pieces that continue to captivate viewers centuries later.
