Art Nouveau is an architectural style that originated in Europe in the late 19th century, characterized by a focus on natural forms, flowing lines, and intricate ornamentation. Art Nouveau architecture took inspiration from natural elements such as plants, flowers, and animals, and incorporated these motifs in intricate patterns and designs. The style is known for its use of curved lines, asymmetrical forms, and decorative details, such as stained glass windows, mosaic tiles, and ornate ironwork. Art Nouveau buildings can be found in cities across Europe, and the style also influenced other forms of design, including furniture, jewelry, and fashion.
