#1022. Art Nouveau Stained Glass Panel with Floral and Plant Ornament

This image showcases an exquisite example of stained glass art in the Art Nouveau style. This is not a building facade in the traditional sense, but rather a decorative element that could have been part of an interior or exterior architectural solution from the early 20th century.

The composition of the stained glass is built symmetrically, with a central floral motif framed by stylized leaves and wing-like elements. The color palette includes deep purple-blue shades in the center, vibrant green foliage elements, warm orange-amber accents, and brown tones on the wing elements. The entire composition is set against a light beige background, creating a harmonious framing.

The execution technique demonstrates a classical approach to creating stained glass: individual pieces of colored glass with various textures are joined by metal dividers that form a clear pattern. Particularly noteworthy is the use of textured glass of varying degrees of transparency, which would create a dynamic play of light when illuminated.

This decorative art element reflects the characteristic biomorphic motifs of Art Nouveau, flowing lines, and the aspiration toward organic forms inspired by nature. Such stained glass was often used in the architecture of that period for decorating windows, doors, lanterns, and decorative panels, becoming an integral part of a building's architectural appearance.
