The "Campaign of Emperor Charles V against the Turks at Tunis in 1535: the Battle of Goletta, detail of a horse being lowered into a boat" is a notable artwork by Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen, a Northern Renaissance artist known for his tapestry designs and detailed cartoons that served as full-scale designs for tapestries. This particular work is part of a series that depicts the historic military campaign led by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V against the Ottoman Empire's stronghold in Tunis, a significant event in the struggle for control of the Mediterranean during the 16th century.

Created in the 16th century, Vermeyen's cartoon captures a moment from the Battle of Goletta, which was a key engagement during the conquest of Tunis. The scene illustrates the logistical efforts of the campaign, showcasing the intricate process of transporting a horse onto a boat, reflecting the complexity and grandeur of the military expedition. The attention to detail in the artwork not only serves to document the historical event but also exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship and artistic skill prevalent during the Renaissance period.

Vermeyen's work was commissioned by Charles V to celebrate and propagate the victory over the Ottoman forces at Tunis. The tapestries produced from these cartoons were intended to glorify the Emperor's achievements and were displayed in prominent locations, such as royal palaces and government buildings, to reinforce the political message of imperial power and triumph.

The "Campaign of Emperor Charles V against the Turks at Tunis in 1535" series is significant in art history for its documentary value and its role in the tradition of tapestry-making. Vermeyen's cartoons are considered masterpieces of Renaissance art, providing insight into the period's visual culture, the use of tapestries as a medium for political propaganda, and the intricate process involved in their production. The "Battle of Goletta" cartoon, with its vivid portrayal of a horse being carefully lowered into a boat, stands as a testament to the artist's ability to combine historical narrative with artistic excellence.
