The Pastrana Tapestries: A Glimpse into the Conquest of Tangier in 1471 This stunning tapestry, titled "The Taking of Tanger" or "The Entry of the Portuguese Army in the City," is part of the Pastrana Tapestries series, which chronicles the conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal. Created in the manufacturing center of Tournai, likely from the workshop of Passchier Grenier, this Flemish art tapestry dates back to approximately 1471-1475. The tapestry depicts a pivotal moment in Western history during the Early Modern Era, as the Portuguese army, led by the lord of Asilah, enters the city of Tangier. The intricate design and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, with soldiers on horseback and foot, standard-bearers, and citizens of Tangier reacting to the invasion. The Pastrana Tapestries are a significant contribution to the decorative arts and textiles of the time, showcasing the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the Flemish weavers. These tapestries were once part of the collection of the Collegiate Tapestries in the Pastrana Museum in Spain's Castile-La Mancha region, specifically in Guadalajara. The tapestry's intricate details and historical significance make it a captivating piece of art and a valuable window into the past. The Pastrana Tapestries offer a unique perspective on the events of the late 15th century, as well as the artistic styles and techniques of the time. This tapestry, along with the rest of the series, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Western world and the enduring allure of the Early Modern Era. The Pastrana Tapestries continue to inspire and intrigue scholars, art enthusiasts, and history buffs alike.
