#4525. Eclectic facade with rich ornamentation: a blend of baroque elements, female sculpture, and colored balcony

The image showcases a magnificent fragment of a historical facade in an eclectic style with neo-baroque elements. The architectural composition demonstrates the rich decorative language of the late 19th - early 20th century. The central element of the composition is an elegant doorway with green wooden louvered shutters, framed by exquisite stucco work.

The facade features rich sculptural solutions and numerous decorative elements. Above the doorway, there is an ornamental frieze with acanthus leaves. To the right of the entrance is a niche with a graceful female sculpture in classical drapery, mounted on a decorative column with bas-reliefs. Note the rosette at the top of the niche and the volute-shaped elements creating a harmonious framing.

The balcony with its blue-tinted wrought-iron railing creates an interesting color contrast with the beige facade and green shutters. Such a combination is characteristic of Mediterranean architectural tradition. The fine elaboration of details, proportionality of elements, and craftsmanship testify to the high level of building art of the era.
