EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, an architectural marvel that has captivated imaginations for centuries. Created by Alain Manesson Mallet in 1683, this copper engraving transports us back to ancient Assyria and Babylon, where these gardens were said to have been built. The intricate details captured in this fine art image allow us to appreciate the grandeur and opulence of these legendary gardens. As we gaze upon the lush greenery cascading from towering terraces, we can almost feel the cool mist from the waterfalls and hear the soothing sounds of nature. Legend tells us that Queen Semiramis, also known as Shammuramat or Semiramida, commissioned these hanging gardens as a testament to her love for her husband King Ninus. The gardens were designed not only as a symbol of their love but also as a sanctuary where they could escape from the bustling city below. Considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, alongside other iconic structures like the Tower of Babel and Nimrud, these gardens continue to inspire awe and wonder. This graphic arts masterpiece serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create breathtaking works that blend mythology with architecture. As we admire this historical artifact from a private collection in France, let us be transported back in time and immerse ourselves in its rich history.
