Art Nouveau Façade with Mosaic Panels

#7333. Art Nouveau Façade with Mosaic Panels

The image shows a fragment of a historical building façade in the Art Nouveau style. The façade is constructed of red brick with abundant use of white stone decorative elements. Of particular note are three arched windows on the upper floor, framed by elegant semicircular surrounds with rich ornamentation.

Above each of the three windows are semicircular decorative panels with colored mosaic or majolica tilework. The side panels depict stylized birds (possibly eagles or other birds of prey), while the central panel features a floral motif. The color palette of these panels includes turquoise, brown, and beige tones characteristic of Art Nouveau.

Below the windows is a small balcony with wrought iron railings, executed in the fluid, curvilinear manner typical of Art Nouveau, featuring scrolls and wave-like motifs. The balcony is supported by decorative brackets with relief ornamentation.

The upper part of the façade is crowned with a projecting cornice with modillions (decorative brackets), creating a rhythmic pattern and expressive play of light and shadow. The combination of red brick and white stone elements creates a striking contrast typical of early 20th century architecture.

This example of urban architecture demonstrates the craftsmanship of Art Nouveau architects in creating an expressive, decoratively rich façade with characteristic attention to detail, organic natural motifs, and fluid forms.
