This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of Semiramis, the legendary Queen of Assyria, from Giacomo Jaquerio's fresco "The Nine Worthies and the Nine Worthy Women". Created between 1418-30, this Renaissance masterpiece can be found in the Castello della Manta in Saluzzo, Italy. In this particular section of the fresco, Semiramis is depicted with an air of regality and strength. Her profile is beautifully captured as she holds a lance or spear, symbolizing her power and authority. Adorned with an intricate headdress fit for a queen, she exudes elegance and grace. Semiramis was renowned for her role in constructing the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. As one of the nine worthy women portrayed in this artwork alongside notable men from Christian history, Pagan history, and the Old Testament such as Julius Caesar and King Arthur; Semiramis stands tall among these esteemed figures. Through this stunning portrayal by Jaquerio, we are transported back to ancient times where legends were born. The attention to detail and skillful execution bring Semiramis to life on canvas. This print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical significance - reminding us that even centuries later, these stories continue to captivate our imagination.
