#5901. Decorative Art Nouveau: Facade with Mythological Sculptures and Arched Entrance

Before us is an expressive facade of a building in the Art Nouveau style, representing a remarkable example of early 20th century architecture. The facade is designed in beige tones with sculptural elements characteristic of this style, creating an impressive ensemble.

The central element of the composition is an arched entrance, framed by massive sculptural details. On both sides of the arch are expressive mythological figures resembling chimeras or griffins, with wings and whimsical curls. These figures are organically integrated into the architectural composition, emphasizing the flowing lines of the arch.

Above the arched entrance are large panoramic windows with thin turquoise frames that contrast with the beige facade. Particularly notable are two statues positioned on pedestals above the entrance. They are executed in the style characteristic of Art Nouveau and create a symmetrical rhythmic pattern on the facade.

Also interesting are the pendant lamps on chains hanging from the pedestals with statues, which adds not only functionality to the facade but also additional decorative elements. The facade is also adorned with decorative panels featuring geometric ornaments beneath the second-floor windows.

The textured finish of the lateral parts of the facade contrasts with the smooth central part, creating an interesting interplay of textures. Overall, the facade represents a magnificent example of decorative Art Nouveau with sculptural elements, flowing lines, and mythological motifs characteristic of this style.
