      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>The sensational discovery in the early twentieth century of the prehistoric civilisation of Crete, named Minoan after the mythical king Minos, and the contemporary birth of Modern Art in Europe has led many scholars to discern analogies between Minoan art and Art Nouveau. This work analyses the entity and significance of Minoan art in the textile productions that made the name of the artist Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo. The famous "Knossos shawls", created by  Fortuny from 1906 on in his Venetian studio in Palazzo Pesaro Orfei, which has now become the Fortuny museum, feature decorative motifs taken from the decorations visible on vases and frescoes in the famous Minoan centres of Crete, such as Knossòs and Festòs, dating to the second millennium BC. Understanding his way of representing the past and the exotic – in particular the Minoan civilisation of Crete – and bringing it back to life, allows us to penetrate the expectations and the demands of European society between the 19th and the 20th centuries. The reference to a culture such as the Minoan, which precisely at the beginning of the 20th century was dubbed by the academic world as a "modern" civilisation and defined as quintessentially the first "European" civilisation, contributed to render the Knossos shawls inspired by it the very height of fashion.</p>

        <p>La sensazionale scoperta, agli inizi del Novecento, della civiltà preistorica di Creta, detta Minoica dal nome del mitico re Minosse, e la contemporanea nascita dell'arte Moderna in Europa, ha condotto molti studiosi a riconoscere analogie tra l'arte minoica e l'Art Nouveau. In questo lavoro si analizzano l'entità e il significato dell'impiego dell'arte minoica nelle produzioni tessili che hanno reso celebre l'artista Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo. I famosi «scialli Knossos», creati da Fortuny a partire dal 1906 nel suo atelier veneziano di Palazzo Pesaro Orfei, attualmente divenuto il Museo Fortuny, presentano motivi decorativi ripresi da decorazioni visibili su vasi e affreschi di noti centri minoici di Creta, quali Knossòs e Festòs, risalenti al II mill. a.C. Comprendere il suo modo di rappresentare e di far rivivere il passato e l'esotico, e nello specifico la civiltà Minoica di Creta, significa penetrare nelle aspettative e nelle esigenze della società europea a cavallo tra il XIX e il XX secolo. Il richiamo ad una civiltà come quella Minoica, che proprio agli inizi del Novecento viene etichettata dal mondo accademico come una civiltà «moderna», nonché come la prima civiltà «europea» per eccellenza, contribuisce a rendere  à la mode gli «scialli Knossos» ad essa ispirati.
