EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate detail and vibrant colors of The Pastrana Tapestries, a masterpiece of Flemish art from the late 15th century. Created in the manufacturing workshop of Tournai, most likely by Passchier Grenier, these tapestries depict the Conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal.
In this particular cloth number 3 from the series, we see a detailed portrayal of English soldiers engaged in battle during the assault on Asilah. The scene is filled with tension and action, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship and storytelling ability of the artist.
The tapestry measures an impressive 369 x 1099 cm, making it a monumental work that commands attention and admiration. Every stitch and color choice adds to the overall impact of this historical narrative captured in textile form.
Displayed at Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, these tapestries are not only beautiful works of art but also important historical documents that shed light on significant events from centuries past.
This print allows us to appreciate every minute detail up close and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of medieval craftsmanship and storytelling through visual art.
