Semiramis – Dallas Museum of Art – Queen of Babylon – Exquisite Work of Art

Semiramis – William Wetmore Story – Dallas Museum Art This beautiful carving of Semiramis is found at the main entrance to the DMA. Its intricate work is reflective of Story’s attention to detail  – though he did have a large workshop filled with assistant stone cutters. While you are drawn to the beauty and majesty of the piece upon closer inspection you find a face of stone – the cold hard face of Semiramis, Assyrian Queen for whom the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built.
