#5835. Art Nouveau Facade with Mosaic Panel and Decorative Elements

The image showcases a magnificent example of Art Nouveau (Secession) architecture with decorative art elements from the early 20th century. The central feature of the facade is a richly adorned mosaic panel framing an arched window. The mosaic employs a color palette characteristic of this style: predominant golden-yellow, burgundy, turquoise, and white tones.

The panel composition is symmetrical and includes stylized plant motifs (golden leaves) on the left and figurative elements depicting two characters in historical attire on the right. The decorative design emphasizes Art Nouveau's typical aspiration toward organic forms and ornamentality. Below the arched window sits a small balcony with turquoise-colored wrought iron railings, designed in the same stylistic language with characteristic spiral elements.

Special value is added to the facade through meticulous attention to detail: decorative figure "8" medallions on both sides of the balcony, geometric patterns in the lower part of the panel, and stylized floral motifs. All these features are typical of Secession architecture with its focus on decorative elements and the ambition to create a cohesive artistic image.
