Decorative Art Nouveau: Facade with Golden Sculpture and Floral Ornament

#5857. Decorative Art Nouveau: Facade with Golden Sculpture and Floral Ornament

The image shows a fragment of a historical building facade executed in the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style or late eclecticism. The facade features exquisite decorative elements characteristic of European architecture from the late 19th to early 20th century.

The compositional centerpiece is a golden-colored female sculpture positioned at the second-floor level. The sculpture depicts a seated woman in draped clothing with a bird, possibly representing an allegorical figure, perhaps a patroness of arts or commerce.

The facade is adorned with delicate stucco decorations in the form of stylized plant motifs — intertwining branches and flowers creating a distinct ornamental frieze between the floors. This decorative element harmoniously frames the upper windows of the building.

Special expressiveness is added by the metal balcony railing with elements of artistic forging and gilded decorative elements in the shape of spheres. The combination of the light-colored facade with black metal details and golden accents creates a noble and solemn impression.

The window openings have a strict rectangular shape, typical of classical elements in Art Nouveau architecture, and are organized in a clear rhythmic row, which gives the composition balance.
