# Hôtel Cohn-Donnay: façade [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HAMESSE, Paul]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary The original mansion, built in 1841 in Neoclassical style, was converted to a modern building by Paul Hamesse in 1904. Despite being green \(it was not this colour in 1904\), the façade has remained Neoclassical, except for the imposing bow window that Hamesse added to it. Moreover, what with the balcony and its wrought iron railing made up of diagonally arranged openwork rectangles, its decoration of gilded discs and lines and its vividly-coloured stained glass windows, Hamesse has clearly left his mark. ## Related artworks - [Door metalwork]() - [Hôtel Cohn-Donnay: billiard room]() - [Hôtel Cohn-Donnay: chessboard room]() - [Hôtel Cohn-Donnay: entrance hall]() - [Hôtel Cohn-Donnay: entrance room]() - [Hôtel Cohn-Donnay: façade \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
