Aaron Messiah was an early 20th century European architect. Messiah was court architect to Léopold II of Belgium, but his most famous work was the Villa Ephrussi, completed in 1912. At this southern French villa, Messiah successfully synthesized the eclectic collections and ideas of Baroness Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild into a coherent neoclassical whole. The villa combines ornamental aspects of the Italian Renaissance with strict French Classicism. Wikipedia
