EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Flemish tapestry from the series "The Conquest of Tunis". Titled "The Attack on La Goleta" it is the fourth tapestry in the collection and was created between 1543 and 1548. The models for this masterpiece were Jan Vermeyen and Pieter Coecke van Aelst, renowned artists of their time. Measuring an impressive 525x925 cm, this particular replica was manufactured by Real Fabrica de Tapices de Santa Barbara in Madrid between 1731 and 1744. Made from silk and wool fabric, it exudes both elegance and craftsmanship. Originally commissioned by Charles V, the complete set of "The Conquest of Tunis" is not currently on display. However, these two panels are part of a replica cycle commissioned by Philip V that was completed in 1744. They can be admired at the Royal Armoury within Palacio Real in Madrid, Spain. This photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical artwork. It depicts an army engaged in combat during an attack, showcasing elements such as troops, armed forces, attackers, and Spanish soldiers. The tapestry represents not only Flemish art but also reflects Arab civilization's influence on North Africa during that period. With its rich history and exquisite craftsmanship preserved through time, this Flemish tapestry serves as a testament to the artistic legacy left behind by talented individuals like Jan Vermeyen and Pieter Coecke van Aelst.
