# Hôtel van Eetvelde: general view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HORTA, Victor]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary Perhaps the most modern of Horta's house façades is that of the Hôtel van Eetvelde \(1895-97\), which employed a rational iron frame decorated with mosaic panels bordered by free-flowing 'whiplash' lines. The luxurious interior, replete with marbles and gilt bronze, features a staircase and landings wrapped around a double-height octagonal hall near the centre of the plan. A shallow glass dome, which is supported by elliptical arches above a circle of iron columns, lights the hall; across the dome, long, leaf-like tendrils of coloured glass continue the sinuous curves of the structure below. ## Related artworks - [Boiserie and furniture]() - [Chair]() - [Hôtel Solvay: doorbell]() - [Hôtel Solvay: entrance hall]() - [Hôtel Solvay: entrance]() - [Hôtel Solvay: façade]() - [Hôtel Solvay: interior]() - [Hôtel Solvay: interior]() - [Hôtel Solvay: staircase]() - [Hôtel Solvay: staircase]() - [Hôtel Solvay: staircase]() - [Hôtel Solvay: staircase]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
