#6018. Art Nouveau Facade with Floral Ceramic Panels

The image shows a fragment of a building facade executed in the Art Nouveau style. A notable feature is the combination of structural elements made of light-colored stone with decorative ceramic panels. The colored tiles depicting stylized irises demonstrate the characteristic fluidity of lines and plant motifs typical of Art Nouveau. The main color scheme of the panel consists of a soft blue background with yellowish accents and purple flowers framed by sinuous green stems.

The central part of the composition features a sculptural element in the form of a stone flower with leaves, which harmoniously echoes the floral theme of the tiles. The architectural solution is complemented by arched elements framing the doorway with a dark green double door. Interestingly, a signature and date (presumably 1911) can be seen on the ceramic panel, highlighting the artistic value of this architectural element.

This fragment demonstrates the typical Art Nouveau attention to detail, the pursuit of organic forms and decorativeness, where functional elements of the building are transformed into works of art, creating a unified artistic ensemble.
