The Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, a legendary wonder of the ancient world, captivate our imagination with their ethereal beauty. This awe-inspiring creation is brought to life through intricate artworks that depict the grandeur and splendor of this architectural marvel. In one such artwork, we see a Winged Genie adorning a relief from the palace of Assyrian king Sargon II. The delicate details and exquisite craftsmanship transport us back to 722-705 BC when these gardens flourished under Semiramis' rule. Moving on to another masterpiece, The Archers frieze from Darius I's palace at Susa showcases the prowess and might of the Assyrians. Created around 510-500 BC by talented artists, it offers a glimpse into the opulence surrounding these hanging gardens. A striking relief featuring two figures of Ashurnasirpal alongside winged mythological beings and god Ashur before the Tree of Life further emphasizes their mythical allure. Crafted between 885-860 BC by skilled hands, this artwork immerses us in an era where legends intertwined with reality. The Confusion of Tongues painting by Karel van Mander takes us beyond ancient times to explore biblical narratives associated with Babylonian history. It reminds us how stories like The Tower of Babel shaped our perception and fascination for civilizations like those ruled by Semiramis. Regina Semiramide portrays her as an influential queen whose legacy echoes through time. Another depiction titled "Semiramis Called to Arms" highlights her strength as a leader who commanded respect and admiration among her subjects. Artworks depicting Alexander's conquests also shed light on his encounter with Babylon, including Jean Audran's Alexander Entering Babylon which captures his triumphant arrival in this magnificent city. Charles Le Brun's rendition titled "The Triumph of Alexander the Great" further immortalizes this momentous event in history.
