#6184. Elegant Art Nouveau façade with decorative arch and curvilinear window openings

This image shows an expressive fragment of a building façade in the Art Nouveau style, crafted from light-colored sandstone or limestone. The central element of the composition is an exquisite semi-circular bay window, framed by a richly decorated arch with floral ornaments characteristic of the early 20th century Art Nouveau movement.

Particularly noteworthy is the whimsical window opening under the arch, divided into several parts: the upper section features a curved window with fine glazing divisions, while the lower part showcases a decorative element with flowing, fluid lines resembling stylized waves or plant motifs, which is a signature feature of the Art Nouveau style. These sinuous forms create an impression of organic quality and natural plasticity.

The stone masonry of the façade is executed with great craftsmanship, emphasizing the monumentality of the building, while the decorative details soften the overall impression, lending elegance to the structure. Above the window, a circular rose window is also visible, which enhances the vertical composition and adds additional depth and expressiveness to the façade.
