This stunning print captures the intricate detail and historical significance of The Pastrana Tapestries, believed to have been manufactured in Tournai by the workshop of Passchier Grenier around 1471-1475. The tapestry depicts a scene from the conquest of Asilah and Tangier in 1471 by Alfonso V of Portugal, known as "the African."
In this particular cloth from the series, we see English troops during the siege, showcasing a moment of intense battle and confrontation. The vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship highlight the skill and artistry of Flemish tapestry-making during this period.
The tapestries are housed at the Museo Parroquial de Tapices de Pastrana in Guadalajara, Spain, where they continue to be admired for their historical importance and artistic beauty. This particular photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, capturing not only a military campaign but also providing insight into medieval European culture.
