#4828. Historic façade with polychrome decoration: red brick and green floral ornament

The image showcases a magnificent example of decorative architecture – an expressive fragment of a historic building façade with rich ornamental decoration. The main background of the façade is made of red brick, creating a striking contrast with the exquisite green decor. Of particular note are the bay windows with skillfully executed relief panels depicting plant motifs – intertwining leaves and flowers.

The façade has a clear hierarchical structure with rhythmically arranged windows framed by decorative elements. The upper and middle parts of the building are adorned with lush ornamental bands in green with inclusions of other shades. These decorative panels demonstrate the highest craftsmanship in Art Nouveau or Neo-Renaissance style, characteristic of the late 19th to early 20th century.

At the lower part of the façade is a stepped construction crowned with a mascaron – a decorative sculptural head that seems to support the upper floors of the building. Each element is meticulously detailed, from columns with capitals to the smallest elements of the floral ornament, testifying to the high level of craftsmanship of the builders and decorators of that time.
