EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a detailed section of The Pastrana Tapestries, depicting the Siege of Asilah in the 15th century. Created in the manufacturing hub of Tournai, Belgium, this tapestry is believed to have come from the workshop of Passchier Grenier, a prominent Flemish artist of his time.
The scene depicted showcases English soldiers during the intense battle, highlighting their armor and weaponry with intricate detail. This tapestry is part of a series illustrating the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal, known as "the African."
Measuring an impressive 428 x 1078 cm, this piece is housed at the Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain. It offers a glimpse into historical warfare and royal conquests that shaped Europe and North Africa during this period.
The vibrant colors and expert craftsmanship displayed in this tapestry speak to the skill and artistry of Flemish weavers from centuries past. Each thread tells a story of valor and power as it weaves together history on fabric for generations to admire.
This photograph serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance preserved through textile artistry.
