"Panoramic View of the Royal Palace and Hanging Gardens of Babylon" is an imaginative architectural engraving by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, an influential architect and designer of the Baroque period. This work is part of a series included in his publication "Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" (A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture), first printed in 1721. The book is notable for its comparative analysis of architectural styles, spanning from ancient times to Fischer von Erlach's contemporary 18th-century Europe.

The engraving presents a speculative and grandiose reconstruction of the fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Royal Palace, which were considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Fischer von Erlach's interpretation is based on historical descriptions, particularly those of ancient Greek historians such as Strabo and Philo of Byzantium, combined with his own artistic license and Baroque sensibilities. The result is a lavish and detailed portrayal that reflects the period's fascination with the opulence and mystery of ancient civilizations.

In this panoramic view, Fischer von Erlach depicts terraced gardens rising in a series of platforms, adorned with lush vegetation, water features, and statuary, all centered around a monumental palace complex. The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in shaping European conceptions of ancient architectural wonders. It reflects the 18th-century trend of seeking to understand the past through imaginative re-creation, a process that often blended factual knowledge with creative interpretation.

Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach's "Panoramic View of the Royal Palace and Hanging Gardens of Babylon" remains an important historical document, offering insight into the early modern European mindset and the era's approach to architectural history and representation. It continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts of architectural history for its intricate design and as a testament to the enduring allure of the world's ancient wonders.
