EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece of Flemish art depicting the taking of Tangier in the 15th century. Created in the manufacturing hub of Tournai, possibly by Passchier Grenier's workshop, these tapestries showcase a pivotal moment in history - the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier by Alfonso V of Portugal.
The scene depicted is filled with action as inhabitants flee the city under the protection of the lord of Asilah, highlighting a dramatic battle and showcasing an army on horseback. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship bring this historical event to life, offering a glimpse into medieval warfare and royal intrigue.
Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, these tapestries are not just works of art but also valuable historical artifacts that shed light on European-African relations during this period.
