Cesare Saccaggi (1868-1934) "Great Semiramis, Queen of Assyria" (c. 1905) Oil on canvas, gold and precious stones The myth of Semiramis has its roots in late antiquity. Historiography, religion, art and literature have contributed to passing on different and contradictory legends linked to her figure over the centuries: some recognize her as the enlightened Assyrian ruler Shammuramat, wife of King Shamshi-Adad V and regent of his son Addu-Nirari III--to whom we owe the realization of the hanging gardens of Babylon.For others, Semiramis is the daughter of a nymph, abandoned in the desert and then fed by doves - the 'daughter of the air', according to Calderón de la Barca and Carlo Gozzi. Or she is the daughter of the goddess Derceto and the Syrian Caistro, married first to Onne, then to King Nino, with whom she had a son who, according to tradition, when he became an adult, chased her from the throne and killed her. During her reign, Semiramis conquered Mesopotamia, Egypt and Ethiopia. Herodotus and Diodorus Siculus speak of her as a great and good sovereign.

Cesare Saccaggi (Tortona - IT, February 7, 1868 - Tortona - IT, January 3, 1934).

Saccaggi was an exponent of the "school of Tortona," consisting of the generation of Tortona painters who lived and worked at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Angelo Barabino and Gigi Cuniolo. Cesare was able to attend the Accademia Albertina in Turin thanks to a 500-lira scholarship from the City of Tortona. After finishing his studies at the Accademia Albertina in 1890, he spent a period of further education in Rome, where he came into contact with the D'Annunzio milieu of "Byzantine Rome," with the painting of the Prefarraellites and with Neopompeian painting. During the 1890s his eclectic production ranged from depictions of classical and oriental scenes to genre and costume scenes set in bygone eras, from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, to others inspired by a verism of melodramatic tone.
