#7318. Art Nouveau Façade with Neo-Gothic Windows and Expressive Mascaron

The image showcases an elegant architectural fragment of a façade in the Art Nouveau style. The window composition includes three windows in a neo-Gothic frame, where the central window is emphasized by vertical proportions, while the side windows feature arched tops. The most expressive element is the sculptural decoration above the central window — a mascaron depicting a bearded male head, presumably of allegorical or mythological character.

The façade is decorated with stylized floral ornaments featuring flowing, fluid lines characteristic of Art Nouveau. Particularly noteworthy are the symmetrical wave-like elements framing the windows and creating a sense of movement. The façade's color scheme is executed in light sandy tones, highlighting the plasticity of the decorative elements. The glass inserts in the windows include stained glass elements that complement the artistic image of the building.

The combination of historical architectural motifs with early 20th century aesthetics is interesting. In the lower part of the central window, a modern contrast is noticeable — the silhouette of an Apple device is visible, creating an unexpected dialogue between the historical façade and modern technology, emphasizing the continued relevance of architectural heritage.
