The buildings at Elizabetes iela 33 in Riga, specifically Mikhail Eisenstein's Art Nouveau masterpiece, are a fascinating glimpse into the fantasy world of Art Nouveau architecture. Eisenstein's style is known for its ornate facades with figures and mythological creatures that seem to emerge from the brickwork. Particularly striking here are the sphinxes and human faces that decorate the facade, reflecting the exotic tastes of the time. These elements reflect the trend of the time to draw inspiration from foreign cultures such as Egypt, and convey a symbolic atmosphere marked by Freudian influences.
