#4765. Elegant Art Nouveau Façade with Decorative Volutes and Arched Window

The photograph showcases an elegant fragment of an architectural façade in the Art Nouveau style (possibly Catalan Modernism or Austrian Secession). The upper part of the window opening is adorned with exquisite decorative elements. The composition is built around an arched window with a semicircular completion, above which is located a characteristic decorative element of this style — a semicircular niche with a slot.

The façade features rich ornamental decoration, including spiral scrolls (volutes), rhythmic vertical grooves, and geometric reliefs. Symmetrical decorative consoles with sculptural ornaments are positioned on both sides. The architectural plasticity of the façade creates an interesting play of light and shadow, emphasizing the dimensionality of the details.

The color scheme is presented in warm beige and sand tones, which is characteristic of Mediterranean architecture. Behind the arched opening, turquoise blinds create a contrasting accent. At the bottom of the composition, there is a small wrought-iron balcony in black, complementing the overall stylistic solution of the façade.

The overall composition combines symmetry with dynamic decorative elements, which is a typical technique of early 20th century architecture, when the functionality of the building was combined with expressive ornamental design.
