Hanging Gardens of Babylon
This hand-coloured engraving by the 16th-century Dutch artist [[Marten Jacobszoon Heemskerk van Veen|Martin Heemskerck]] depicts the fabled Hanging Gardens of [[Babylon]], one of the Seven Wonders of the World. According to the tradition, the gardens did not hang, but grew on the roofs and terraces of the royal palace in Babylon. [[Nebuchadrezzar II]], the [[Chaldean]] king, is supposed to have had the gardens built in about 600 bc as a consolation to his [[Medes|Median]] wife, who missed the natural surroundings of her homeland.
