EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a masterpiece by the renowned artist Edgar Degas, depicting the legendary queen of Assyria and Babylonia, Semiramis (Semiramide). In this stunning painting from 1861, we witness Semiramis deep in thought as she contemplates on the banks of the majestic Euphrates River. It is here that she envisions the grandeur and magnificence of Babylon, a city that will eventually be recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Degas skillfully captures Semiramis' regal presence and her connection to nature with his masterful brushstrokes. The composition is enriched by a beautiful French landscape, showcasing rolling hills and lush greenery. A horse stands beside Semiramis, symbolizing power and strength while hinting at her role in overseeing construction projects. The suspended gardens of Semiramis are also hinted at in this artwork - an architectural marvel known for its beauty and innovation during ancient times. This painting not only pays homage to historical figures but also highlights Degas' ability to bring history to life through art. Displayed proudly at Paris's Musee d'Orsay, this piece invites viewers into a world where legends intertwine with reality. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring impact on our collective imagination.
