#7214. Art Nouveau Façade with Turquoise Tree Crowning

The photograph captures an exquisite architectural element in the Art Nouveau style, featuring a decorative crowning above a window opening. The central accent of the composition is a sculptural representation of a stylized tree with a lush crown of forged leaves, executed in a turquoise-green palette with golden stems and branches.

This botanical motif is harmoniously integrated into the brick façade of the building and placed against an elegant decorative panel with a blue background and white ornamental framing. The upper part of the panel is shaped as a pointed arch with delicate filigree work, reminiscent of Gothic elements but reinterpreted through the aesthetic of Art Nouveau.

The color palette is particularly noteworthy: the contrast between the dark brown brick masonry, the vibrant blue background, and the soft turquoise foliage creates a memorable visual effect. The metalwork demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of the Art Nouveau era with its affinity for organic, flowing forms and botanical ornaments.

The composition crowns the upper part of a window opening, which is visible in the lower portion of the photograph where blinds can be seen behind the glass. Such architectural details were not merely decorative elements but served as an artistic manifesto of the style, emphasizing the connection between architecture and natural motifs.
