"The Hanging Gardens of Babylon" is a painting by the 19th-century German artist Ferdinand Knab, known for his romantic and idealized landscapes. The artwork depicts the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which were said to have been constructed in the ancient city of Babylon, near present-day Hillah, Babil province, in Iraq. Knab's interpretation of the gardens reflects the 19th-century fascination with the exotic and ancient past, a theme prevalent among European artists of the period.

The painting is characterized by its lush and verdant portrayal of the gardens, with an emphasis on architectural and natural beauty harmoniously intertwined. Knab's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail in the depiction of plants and water features, creates a sense of wonder and tranquility. The artwork serves as a testament to the human imagination and the desire to recreate and romanticize ancient wonders that have long since vanished.

Ferdinand Knab was a painter associated with the Munich School, and his works often exhibit the influence of Orientalism, which was popular among European artists and intellectuals in the 19th century. "The Hanging Gardens of Babylon" is a prime example of this influence, showcasing Knab's skill in blending historical and fantastical elements to transport viewers to a bygone era.

The painting is notable for its contribution to the visual arts during a time when archaeological discoveries were capturing the public's imagination and influencing artistic expression. While the actual existence and appearance of the Hanging Gardens remain a subject of historical debate, Knab's painting remains an important cultural artifact that reflects the 19th-century European artistic and cultural milieu. It continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a creative interpretation of one of the most enigmatic wonders of the ancient world.
