White and Blue Art Nouveau Façade with Female Caryatid Figures

#950. White and Blue Art Nouveau Façade with Female Caryatid Figures

The image showcases an expressive fragment of an Art Nouveau façade executed in a blue and white color scheme. Particularly eye-catching are two symmetrically positioned sculptural figures flanking the central arched niche. These female caryatid figures, crafted in a classical manner, hold wreaths above their heads, which is a characteristic decorative element of late 19th - early 20th century architecture.

The façade features rich plasticity and detailed ornamentation. The arched window in the center of the composition is framed by an intricate decorative element with stucco work. The contrast between the white architectural details and blue brickwork creates a striking visual effect typical of Northern Art Nouveau. Below the window, a wrought iron balcony with geometric patterns is installed, harmoniously fitting into the overall composition.

Notable is the masterful execution of details – from the folds of the sculptures' garments to the fine stucco work above the window. The façade demonstrates Art Nouveau's characteristic aspiration for a synthesis of arts, where architecture, sculpture, and decorative arts (in the form of ironwork elements) create a unified artistic whole.
