EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "Semiramis Building Babylon, 1861". Edgar Degas transports us back to the ancient world of Babylon. The grandeur and scale of the Semiramis building are beautifully captured in this artwork, measuring an impressive 151x258 cm. Degas skillfully portrays a landscape dominated by the majestic structure as it rises above all else. A magnificent horse stands at attention in the foreground, symbolizing power and strength. The presence of a female figure suggests that she may be Queen Semiramis herself, overseeing the construction of her legendary Hanging Gardens. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each element within the composition. From the intricate architectural features to the lush greenery adorning the gardens, Degas masterfully creates a sense of awe and wonder. This painting not only celebrates Semiramis' ambitious endeavor but also pays homage to one of history's Seven Wonders - an architectural marvel that has captivated imaginations for centuries. Now housed in Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France, this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time and reminded of humanity's ability to create extraordinary wonders that endure through generations.
