#1895. Art Nouveau window facade with contrasting brick framing and fluid white elements

The image showcases an expressive window in the Art Nouveau style with distinctive decorative framing. The window opening has an elongated rectangular shape topped with a semicircular arch, typical of certain Art Nouveau design directions from the early 20th century.

The window framing features a contrasting color scheme and complex plasticity. The side sections are made of red brick, creating a clear rhythmic pattern that accentuates the verticality of the structure. The upper arched portion is also laid with red brick and crowned with a textured light-colored element featuring a fine dotted pattern, adding visual lightness to the composition.

Particularly noteworthy are the decorative white elements framing the window on the sides and bottom. These have characteristic flowing, curved forms reminiscent of stylized plant motifs — a signature feature of Art Nouveau. These elements contrast with the geometry of the brickwork, creating a dynamic yet harmonious image.

The window opening is protected by a metal grill with a strict geometric pattern, creating an interesting contrast with the fluid forms of the framing. Through the glass, one can see the interior of the building with a staircase and lighting fixtures.

Such facade element design is characteristic of public buildings from the Art Nouveau period, where functionality combines with expressive decorativeness.
