#2262. Art Nouveau Window with Stained Glass and Decorative Stucco Facade

The image showcases a charming Art Nouveau window. The window opening is framed by a cream-colored decorative frame with elegant stucco ornamentation in the upper part, resembling stylized floral motifs. The frame itself has the characteristic flowing, fluid lines inherent to the aesthetic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The window is divided into two parts by a vertical mullion, creating a symmetrical composition. Each half is glazed with colored glass featuring ornamental motifs. The frames are painted in a rich reddish-brown color, creating an expressive contrast with the cream-colored surround. The glazing is multi-sectioned, with alternating colored glass: the upper and lower sections are made of greenish glass, the central panels are blue with exquisite etched ornamentation, and between them are narrow strips of deep blue glass.

The ornament on the glass presents fine engravings with floral motifs typical of the Art Nouveau style—sinuous lines and stylized floral elements. The upper part of the window frame is crowned with a decorative element featuring an asymmetrical composition of plant forms characteristic of Art Nouveau, emphasizing the organic quality and natural plasticity of this architectural style.

This architectural element is an excellent example of the decorative arts from the Art Nouveau era, when even utilitarian elements of the facade were transformed into works of art, combining functionality and aesthetic expressiveness.
