#1244. Art Nouveau in Detail: Window with Floral Stucco Decoration on a Historic Facade

The image depicts a window in the Art Nouveau style, adorned with rich stucco decoration. The window opening is framed by exquisite white stucco work featuring floral and plant motifs, where stylized flowers, leaves, and curls are clearly visible. The upper and lower parts of the window frame are decorated with particularly elaborate elements featuring dimensional floral designs.

The window itself is equipped with beige roller shutters that are partially lowered. The lower part of the window unit has standard glazing with vertical bars. All of this is harmoniously integrated into the building's facade, made of light-colored stone with textured stucco imitating masonry.

This architectural element is a striking example of the decorative approach of the Art Nouveau era, when functional elements of buildings were transformed into works of art through the use of organic, flowing forms and natural motifs. The contrast between the refined white stucco work and the rougher texture of the wall creates an expressive architectural accent on the facade.
