EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece of Flemish art depicting the Assault on Asilah in the 15th century. Created by the skilled hands of craftsmen from Tournai, likely under the direction of Passchier Grenier, these tapestries showcase a pivotal moment in history - the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal.
In this particular cloth from the series, we see English soldiers with arrows stuck, engaged in fierce battle. The vibrant colors and meticulous weaving bring to life a scene filled with tension and drama. Each thread tells a story of war, bravery, and conquest.
The tapestry not only serves as a historical record but also as a work of art that highlights the craftsmanship and skill of its creators. From the armor-clad soldiers to the bloodied battlefield, every detail is meticulously rendered with precision and care.
Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, these tapestries are not just decorative pieces but windows into another time. They transport us back to an era when kings ruled and battles were fought for power and glory. The legacy of these tapestries lives on through this print by Bridgeman Images.
