#2451. Art Nouveau in Detail: Stained Glass Windows and Decorative Façade of the Early 20th Century

The image showcases an elegant fragment of a façade in Art Nouveau (or Jugendstil) style, where the central focus is on exquisite tall windows with stained glass. The windows are framed in soft blue wooden frames, creating an expressive contrast with the white stone façade of the building.

The architectural composition includes rich decorative ornamentation: above the windows lies a frieze with floral relief patterns characteristic of the Art Nouveau era. The windows are flanked by classical columns with Corinthian-style capitals adorned with stylized botanical ornaments. At the bottom of the window composition, there is a decorative wrought iron grille with flowing curved lines typical of the Art Nouveau style.

Particular attention is drawn to the stained glass windows with geometric patterns and colored inserts creating a mosaic effect. The upper part of the stained glass is decorated with ornamental motifs in the form of stylized flowers, emphasizing the commitment to natural forms characteristic of early 20th century architecture.

The overall composition of the façade demonstrates a harmonious combination of classical architectural elements with decorative solutions that were innovative for their time, reflecting the transitional period in architecture from historicism to Art Nouveau.
