#4905. Art Nouveau brick façade with decorative ceramic panels

This façade represents an excellent example of Art Nouveau architecture with its characteristic use of decorative elements and organic forms. The building is constructed of bright red brick, which creates an expressive contrast with the decorative panels.

Particularly eye-catching are the exquisite ceramic panels flanking the upper-tier window openings, adorned with stylized floral motifs featuring flowing, fluid lines. These vertical panels depicting stylized flowers on stems embody the typical biomorphic aesthetics of Art Nouveau.

The lower tier of the façade is decorated with a series of semi-circular panels featuring fan-shaped ornaments in pastel tones – cream, pale blue, and greenish. These panels showcase geometrized plant ornaments characteristic of a more mature phase of Art Nouveau.

The windows have distinctive sectional divisions with white frames, emphasizing the verticality of the composition. Arched elements above the windows and decorative panels give the façade rhythm and enhance its architectural expressiveness.

The combination of functionality with decorative sophistication, organic motifs, and attention to detail makes this façade an excellent example of early 20th century Art Nouveau architecture, when aesthetics and craftsmanship were inextricably linked in creating a holistic architectural image.
