EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1638 showcases the magnificent city of Babylon and its renowned Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Published by Joannes Gallaeus in Antwerp, this print is a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. The image transports us back in time to an era when towering structures and lush greenery coexisted harmoniously. The cityscape is bustling with life, as equestrians traverse through its streets while archers stand guard atop impressive towers. This imaginary depiction draws inspiration from accounts by Herodotus and other historical sources, giving us a glimpse into what Babylon may have looked like during its prime. The Hanging Gardens take center stage in this artwork, showcasing their grandeur and beauty. These terraced gardens were said to be built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife Amytis, who longed for her homeland's lush landscapes. With cascading waterfalls and vibrant flora adorning each level, it's no wonder they captured the imagination of people throughout history. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of the architectural marvels that once graced our world. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these wonders continue to captivate our minds and inspire awe at human ingenuity. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind this engraving and the rich history it represents.
