"I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the Colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, 'Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught so grand.'" - Antipater of Sidon

In the 2nd century BC, the greek poet Antipater made this list of the seven most wonderful things in the world. Nowadays, we don't know for certain what most of these amazing achievements looked like, but many artists have re-imagined and painted them for us.
The seven beautiful paintings of the wonders are:

Temple of Artemis
Pyramids of Giza
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (the tomb of Mausolus)
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Statue of Zeus in Olympia
Colossus of Helios at Rodos

(first three are recolours of "Rainy Day Main Street", rest are recolours of "The Lady On Red")

Enjoy!
