Victor horta
1.
2. Victor Horta (6 January 1861 – 8 September 1947) was a Belgian architect and designer. Horta is one of
the most important names in Art Nouveau architecture.
His design for the Hotel Tassel in Brussels (1893-4), for instance, is seen by art critics as the first
example of Art Nouveau being introduced into architecture from the decorative arts - thanks to the use of
revolutionary artistic, technological and compositional elements
3. In 1932 King Albert I of Belgium conferred on Horta the title of Baron for his services to architecture. Four
of the buildings he designed have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site
The stylistic revolution represented by these works is characterized by their open plan and the three-
dimensional articulation of space, the diffusion of light, and the brilliant joining of the curved lines of
decoration with the structure of the building.
4. HORTA MUSEUM
The Horta Museum is located in the private house and studio of Victor Horta. Built between 1898 and
1901, it is typical of Art Nouveau at its height. This is not a museum in the traditional sense: a building
where the objects exposed draw all the attention.
