#2742. Art Nouveau Floral Facade with Ceramic Tile Work

The image showcases a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture from the early 20th century — a building facade completely covered with decorative ceramic tiles. The facade is adorned with exquisite floral ornamentation in pastel colors, characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic.

The facade composition demonstrates clear horizontal stratification: the upper part is decorated with a frieze featuring pink flowers on a yellowish background, the middle section contains a vegetal ornament with green and blue elements, and the main wall surface is painted in a warm yellow color. The lower part of the facade is executed in soft pink tones depicting sunflowers and winding stems.

Two symmetrical window openings with white frames and green outlines serve as the geometric center of the composition. They are framed by elegant floral motifs with roses and other flowers. Between the windows are decorative white elements made of stone or stucco, creating a pleasant contrast with the colored ceramics.

Particularly noteworthy is the craftsmanship of the ceramic panels with flowing Art Nouveau lines and meticulously detailed plant motifs. This decorative approach to facade design is characteristic of architecture in Portugal, Spain, or certain regions of Eastern Europe, where ceramic tiling was a popular element of urban architecture during that era.
