Culture palace, a photo from Mures, West

Photographer's Note

The Palace of Culture-Palatul Culturii, next to the Prefecture, is one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings, and is considered the most important building in Targu Mures. It was built between 1910-1914, again, by the architects Marcel Komor and Dezsц Jakab, being the last building they made together before the First World War and is considered their masterpiece. Large amounts of brick, reinforced concrete, granite, glazed ceramics, mosaics, wrought iron make up a spectacular building.

The Palace of Culture is interesting both for its exterior and interior architectural style. The best potters, glassmakers, painters and cabinetmakers of the time were in charge of creating the abundant and diverse decoration of the building, with multiple sources of inspiration in the style that was developing at that time in Vienna and Budapest, with a multitude of commemorative statues of life culture of the city.

Hello Luis,
A very nice view of this beautiful faзade, which has so many appealing colours and details. Also the reflections in the windows are very attractive. Well spotted and captured from a good angle.

Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano...e Forza Italia!!

Hello Luis,
This is certainly an impressive building, and the low angle underscores its magnificent style. The faзade is full of beautiful details and each level has its own style. The light was clearly in your favour, so you managed very good colours. I wonder if this was a crowded area or if you managed to get also a wider view from another point.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hola Luis,
very attractive architecture.
Nice idea to take it from this perspective. It makes the facade feel very high.
The sky was blue as we see in the reflection. The reflection was an extra bonus for sure.
The facade is in the shade but the great design and colors make it quite eye catching.
Great reportage,
M

Even without the reflection upon the windows, this facade has good details as attraction to photography.
Beautiful architecture spotted there.
Buenas tardes,
Ike

Hi Luis
A well featured facade: If we are going to have converging verticals then we might as well look as if we mean it - Looking Up! standing just a couple of feet in front, craning backwards and upwards to make the shot. Lovely grab
Best regards

Hello Luis, I like this point of view as you looked up the facade of this unusual building.
Art Nouveau is one of my favourite art styles.
An added bonus are the reflections in the windows.
Excellent sharpness.
Kind regards, Jean.

A very remarkable and beautiful building for the Palace of Culture.
Excellent view upwards that shows us several of the interesting details.
At the bottom of the picture we get a very clear reflection as a bonus.
Best regards, Paul
