The tapestry of the expulsion of the Moriscos: Rodrigo Calderón’s frustrated project

Main Article Content

Yolanda Gil Saura
This paper deals with an already known series of paintings titled The Expulsion of the Moriscos from the Kingdom of Valencia and provides unpublished documentation of a commission made by Rodrigo Calderón to the viceroy of Valencia, Marquis of Caracena. Besides the narration of the expulsion, the commission included a view of the city of Valencia and portraits of the protagonists. These paintings were to become a series of tapestries that were never realized.
