Ornate Art Nouveau Façade from 1902 with Rich Sculptural Elements and Symbolic Imagery

#5066. Ornate Art Nouveau Façade from 1902 with Rich Sculptural Elements and Symbolic Imagery

The image showcases an expressive fragment of a building façade in the Art Nouveau style (possibly Jugendstil), dating back to the early 20th century, as evidenced by the number "1902" carved into the façade.

The façade presents a harmonious combination of red brick and light decorative stone (stucco or sandstone), creating a striking contrast. The architectural solution is distinguished by rich plastic decorations with the characteristic flowing, fluid lines and natural motifs typical of Art Nouveau.

The central element of the composition is a magnificent relief depicting a stylized figure with outstretched wings or feathers, resembling the sun or a mythological creature. Above the upper windows is a decorative sculptural composition featuring a winged mask surrounded by elegant floral ornaments.

Along the sides of the façade, one can notice decorative mascarons — sculptural depictions of faces woven into a wave-like ornament. The window openings have a regular rectangular shape and are united in vertical compositions, emphasizing the vertical dynamics of the building.

The roof of the building is made of ceramic tiles in different shades, adding additional texture and historical character to the entire structure. This façade is an excellent example of European architecture from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, when decorative elements not only adorned the building but also conveyed a specific artistic idea.
