The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, have captivated imaginations for centuries. This magnificent feat of engineering and horticulture was said to be built by King Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th century BC as a gift to his wife Queen Semiramis. Although no physical evidence remains, historical accounts and artistic depictions give us glimpses into this legendary marvel. One such depiction is "The Hanging Gardens of Ancient Babylon" from 1890, its creator unknown. This artwork showcases the grandeur and beauty that these gardens were believed to possess. Another stunning representation is Alain Manesson Mallet's copper engraving and watercolor titled "La forteresse et les jardins suspendus de la reine legendaire Semiramis a Babylone - Fortress of Semiramis. " It offers a glimpse into the fortress-like structure surrounding these lush gardens. Maps like "World Map" from Le Theatre du Monde or Nouvel Atlas highlight their significance on a global scale. Chromolithos featuring Queen Semiramide remind us of her role in this architectural wonder while colored engravings showcase other iconic structures like the Tower of Babel and Royal Palace alongside them. Reconstructions also allow us to visualize what these gardens might have looked like, such as the beautiful lithograph titled "Beautiful Reconstruction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. " These illustrations transport us back in time to an era where nature intertwined with human ingenuity. Even literature has been inspired by this enchanting place; Ernest Wellcousins' painting "Nebuchadnezzar in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon" brings forth imagery from ancient texts that describe King Nebuchadnezzar enjoying his creation. Today, all we have left are remnants scattered across modern-day Iraq—a reminder that even wonders can fade with time.
