4. Der Ausfall der Besatzung von Goleta wird zurückgeschlagen (= Horn Nr.7)
1712-21
In 1535, the Emperor Charles V sailed with his fleet to Africa in order to liberate the Kingdom of Tunis that had been conquered by the Turks. On bord his ship were not only historians and poets but also his court painter, Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen who documented the campaign in pictures. Eleven years after the Imperial victory he produced the cartoons (now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna) which served as the model for the series of monumental tapestries (Madrid, Patrimonio Nacional) that were woven in only six years in what was probably the most important contemporary manufactory, that of Willem de Pannemaker. The carefully detailed, turbulent action takes place on battlefields rendered with topographical verisimilitude. This tapestry depicts an unsuccessful Turkish sortie from the fortress of La Goletta, visible in the back on the right. The Viennese series was only commissioned in the 18th century by the Emperor Charles VI. Using the original cartoons it was woven in the manufactory of Jodocus de Vos in Brussels. This commission was politically motivated, because Charles VI was the first emperor since Charles V to lay claim to the crowns of both the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Spain.
