#997. Elegant Art Nouveau Façade with Stained Glass and Wrought Iron Elements

The image shows an exquisite fragment of an Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) façade, demonstrating the rich decorative ornamentation characteristic of the late 19th to early 20th century. The architectural composition features metal wrought iron elements in the upper part, crafted in the form of sinuous botanical motifs with the flowing lines and spirals typical of Art Nouveau.

Particularly noteworthy is the combination of various decorative techniques: artistic metalwork in the upper section, white floral rosettes with golden centers on a gray background in the middle section, and stained glass panels with botanical ornaments in green, golden, and pastel tones. The stained glass elements are designed in the characteristic Art Nouveau manner—depicting stylized flowers, leaves, and organic forms.

The lower part of the façade includes arched elements with elegant framing, emphasizing the overall vertical composition. The entire façade structure reflects the key principles of Art Nouveau: fluidity of lines, inspiration from natural forms, attention to detail, and the aspiration to create a holistic artistic piece that unites different materials and techniques into a single harmonious composition.
