#4650. Art Nouveau Facade Decoration with Tree of Life Motif

The image showcases an exquisite example of Art Nouveau architectural decoration, displaying the characteristic floral and plant motifs typical of this style. The decorative panel is positioned above two window or fireplace openings with dark brown wooden framing.

The upper part of the composition is adorned with an elegant frieze in golden tones featuring a rhythmic ornament that includes stylized floral medallions. The main part of the panel consists of a refined depiction of a plant motif – a symmetrical tree with branching shoots, numerous leaves, and yellow flowers or fruits, executed in a technique reminiscent of wall painting or relief. The color palette is restrained – predominantly shades of green and gold on a light background.

The composition demonstrates Art Nouveau's characteristic aspiration toward natural, flowing lines, symmetry, and decorativeness. Such facade or interior decoration is typical of architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century, when plant motifs were actively used in decorative arts and architectural ornamentation.
