Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau is an international architectural and design style that emerged in the late 19th century and reached its peak between 1890 and 1910. It is characterized by the use of curvilinear forms, organic motifs, and the integration of decorative arts into architecture. The style developed as a response to academic historicism and was influenced by natural forms, especially plants and flowers. Art Nouveau was known by different names across Europe, such as Jugendstil in Germany, Sezession in Austria, and Modernismo in Spain. It was applied to a variety of buildings, including townhouses, department stores, and public infrastructure, and is closely associated with architects such as Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, and Antoni Gaudí.
