#4381. Elegant Art Nouveau Facade with Circular Bay Window and Wrought Iron Decoration

The photograph depicts a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture, presumably from the early 20th century. The facade of the building demonstrates the characteristic asymmetry and organic, flowing forms of this style, juxtaposed against the more rigid brickwork of the main part of the building.

The central element of the composition is an expressive bay window with a round porthole-like window and an elegant wrought iron balcony railing. The window is framed by skillfully executed stucco decoration with flowing lines. Above the bay window rises an openwork metal structure — a decorative element typical of Art Nouveau, resembling a crown or finial.

The lower level of the facade is also designed in the Art Nouveau style with characteristic curved window frames painted in a soft green color, creating an interesting contrast with the sandy hue of the brickwork. The metal wrought iron balcony railings showcase the typical Art Nouveau plant-inspired ornament with smooth, fluid lines.

The facade combines decorative elements and functionality — key principles of Art Nouveau. Despite some signs of age-related wear, the building maintains its architectural integrity and historical charm, representing a valuable example of urban Art Nouveau architecture.
