#6133. Art Nouveau Facade with Maritime Mosaic and Decorative Bay Window

The image showcases a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture on the facade of a historic building. Particularly notable is the central bay window with a semicircular balcony executed in the characteristic style of the early 20th century. The balcony is adorned with metalwork featuring typical Art Nouveau flowing, organic lines and decorative round porthole windows.

The upper part of the facade is decorated with an impressive mosaic panel depicting a maritime scene with sailing ships, creating a picturesque contrast with the building's geometry. Below the bay window is an exquisite stucco with floral motifs – an intricate ornament executed in light-colored stone that contrasts with the brick masonry of the main facade.

The architectural composition demonstrates the asymmetry and decorative nature characteristic of Art Nouveau. The arched windows flanking the central bay window emphasize the vertical rhythm of the facade, while the combination of different materials (brick, stone, metal, mosaic) creates a rich textural palette. This is a remarkable example of urban architecture where functionality harmoniously combines with artistic expressiveness.
