The Spanish court adapted the French illustrated model as a mechanism through which to promote national
workshops and generate new manufactures. The creation of the Royal Silk Factory of the Five Guilds of Madrid in Valencia and the creation of the School of Flowers and Ornaments of the Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos, by Royal Order
of October 24, 1778, was intended to train artists in the study of flowers and ornaments for application to textiles. The
application of computer media, proposed by the SILKNOW project, to the study of these decorative repertoires allows a
new look at the relationship between French models and Valencian translations.
