EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning tapestry, titled 'Pastrana' and dating back to the end of the 15th century, is a remarkable piece of art that tells the story of a significant historical event in the Iberian Peninsula. The scene depicted in this vertical tapestry, which is now housed in the Cathedral of Pastrana, Spain, represents the Portuguese conquest of Tangiers in 1478 under the command of King Alfonso V of Portugal, also known as Alfonso the African. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this Flemish art masterpiece bring the historical event to life. The upper right corner of the tapestry shows King Alfonso V, dressed in royal attire, giving orders to his soldiers as they prepare to disembark from their ships. Below, Portuguese soldiers can be seen landing on the shores of Tangiers, ready to engage in battle with the Moorish defenders. The tapestry's rich colors and dynamic composition create a sense of movement and excitement, transporting the viewer back in time to witness this pivotal moment in Portuguese and Spanish history. The Pastrana tapestry is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the 15th century in Europe. Its intricate details and vivid colors continue to captivate audiences and offer valuable insights into the art, culture, and history of the time. This tapestry is a must-see for anyone interested in European history, art, or the Middle Ages.
