THE SOUL OF RIGA
Art Nouveau Muse
History and Facts
This sculptural detail from Riga’s Art Nouveau district represents the human form as an architectural ornament — a defining feature of early 20th-century design. Many such figures adorn buildings along Alberta and Elizabetes streets.

Interesting Fact
Female figures in Riga’s facades often symbolize wisdom, prosperity, and inspiration — ideals of the era when art and architecture merged.

Author’s Note
