EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate Tapestry of Pastrana, dating back to the end of the 15th century. Created by Pasquier Grenier or his workshop, this tapestry depicts a scene from the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal.
In this particular cloth number 4 of the series, titled "The taking of Tangier," we see the inhabitants leaving the city as they are delivered by the lord of Asilah. The level of detail in this tapestry is truly remarkable, showcasing a battle scene set in North Africa with elements such as children and Arab civilization depicted.
Manufactured in Tournai, Belgium, this piece is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It offers a glimpse into European history and relations with African territories during that time period.
Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, this tapestry serves as a valuable cultural artifact. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its storytelling capabilities. The Tapestry of Pastrana stands as a reminder of our shared past and the importance of art in documenting history for future generations to admire and learn from.
