EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Conquest of Arzila in 1471" tapestry, created by the Portuguese School in the 15th century. The artwork is housed at Collegiata, Pastrana, Spain. The tapestry depicts a significant battle that took place between King Afonso V of Portugal and the Moorish army (the Wattasids) in Morocco from August 24th to 28th, 1471. King Afonso V, also known as Afonso The African or Afonso O Africano due to his campaigns in Morocco, led the Portuguese forces against their Moorish opponents. This historical event marked an important victory for Portugal as they successfully conquered Arzila in northern Morocco. The intricately woven tapestry captures various elements of this conquest. It portrays soldiers engaged in combat on land and sea with ships sailing towards the Moroccan coast. Banners and flags flutter proudly amidst a backdrop of castles and fortifications. "The Conquest of Arzila" tapestry not only highlights military prowess but also reflects religious undertones with references to holy wars and Islamic culture. It serves as a testament to both Portuguese naval power and their determination to expand their influence beyond European borders. This remarkable piece of art offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of its creator Paul Maeyaert. Its vibrant colors and detailed imagery transport us back to this momentous event that shaped both Portuguese and Moroccan history forever.
