| Popis: | On the architectural decorations of Lovran villas at the turn of the 19th in the 20th century, whose architects are Carl Seidl and Attilio Maguolo, we will single out the elements of Venetian floral Gothic which stand out in some cases. The stylistic definitions of these structures, due to the connections with Vienna, follow Historicism and Secession, whose expressions were acceptable for the typology of the villas and summer residences. Architect Carl Seidl was particularly fond of the Venetian model in the segment of architectural decoration, which is obvious on Villa Frappart and Santa Maria. Motives of Venetian floral Gothic were also used by the architect Attilio Maguolo on numerous examples of villas among which are Villa Guerra and Denes. Seidl and Maguolo adapted the stylistic demands of their time, and in external development of villas they incorporated elements that were acceptable to their clients. With formal analysis of these villas, particularly in the segment of architectural decorations, the application of Venetian floral Gothic in the period of Historicism and Secession can be best explained. |
