EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Walls of Babylon" from the series "The Eighth Wonders of the World" created by artist Philipp Galle in 1572. Held within the esteemed collection of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, this artwork transports viewers to ancient Babylonia. Intricately depicted with watercolors and copper engraving techniques, Galle's masterpiece immerses us in a world steeped in mythology and history. The walls of Babylon stand tall and proud, evoking a sense of grandeur that once defined this legendary city. As we gaze upon this fine art image, we are reminded of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Among them is Semiramis' Hanging Gardens, an awe-inspiring creation attributed to the Assyrian queen herself. This allegorical representation invites us to explore not only physical structures but also literature and imagination. Galle's work belongs to the early Netherlandish art tradition, showcasing his exceptional skill as an artist during that era. Through his meticulous attention to detail and composition, he brings forth a vision that captivates our senses. Let us marvel at this glimpse into ancient times captured by Philipp Galle's brushstrokes—a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression preserved within Rijksmuseum's remarkable collection.
