#2596. Art Nouveau Facade with Decorative Bay Window and Wrought Iron Balcony

The image captures a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture — an exquisite balcony with an oval window, framed by rich decorative elements. The building facade demonstrates the characteristic flowing, organic lines and abundant decorative features typical of this style.

The central element of the composition is a round bay window with a semicircular balcony. The window opening is adorned with elegant sculptural decor featuring floral motifs. Above the window, there is a decorative sculptural female mask (mascaron) executed in the characteristic Art Nouveau style, with flowing hair and floral ornamentation.

The balcony railing is made of wrought iron with complex botanical patterns, emphasizing the overall organic nature and fluidity of forms. The combination of the white stone facade and dark metal railings creates a striking contrast. The window has an unusual semicircular shape with elaborate decorative elements in the upper section, where plant and flower motifs can be observed.

The entire architectural element is harmoniously integrated into the building facade and serves as a brilliant example of how the Art Nouveau style sought to transform urban spaces by introducing elements of nature and sophisticated decorative aesthetics.
