Sculptural Art Nouveau Facade with Mythological Masks and Wrought Iron Balcony

#5892. Sculptural Art Nouveau Facade with Mythological Masks and Wrought Iron Balcony

This is an outstanding example of Art Nouveau architecture, showcasing the richness of decorative elements and the plastic expressiveness of the facade. The building is adorned with an impressive sculptural composition, where a mascaron of a bearded man takes center place above the arched window, possibly representing a mythological deity or an allegorical figure.

On both sides of the central element are female mascarons with laurel wreaths, typical for the decorative language of early 20th century Art Nouveau. The lower part of the facade is decorated with grotesque masks with expressive features, which serve as visual accents and support the overall mythological theme of the design.

Particularly noteworthy is the balcony with its elegant wrought iron railing, organically integrated into the arched composition. The curvilinear forms, plant motifs, and flowing lines in the facade design are characteristic features of the Art Nouveau style, which sought to create a holistic artistic image of the building. The color contrast between the light facade and the dark elements of the window frames and balcony railing enhances the architectural expressiveness of the composition.
