#2520. Art Nouveau Facade with Twisted Column and Blue Stained Glass

The image captures an exquisite example of early 20th century Art Nouveau architecture, likely influenced by Catalan Modernism. We see a fragment of the facade with expressive architectural decoration. The central element is a twisted column topped with an intricately stone-carved floral capital. The plant-like ornament of the capital reflects the typical Art Nouveau tendency to draw inspiration from natural forms.

Above the column is a rich carved stone frieze with a wave-like vegetative ornament that creates a sense of movement and fluidity. The stained glass windows deserve special attention with their characteristic Art Nouveau blue-turquoise color scheme. The stained glass is designed in stylized organic forms reminiscent of an underwater world or floral motifs, with circles of various diameters, typical of Art Nouveau aesthetics.

Craftsmanship is evident in every detail: meticulously worked stone decoration, the spiral form of the column, the thoughtful composition of the stained glass — all creating a harmonious ensemble that organically combines functionality and decorative elements characteristic of Art Nouveau architecture.
