Description: Heemskerck produced designs for a set of engravings, showing eight, rather than the usual seven wonders of the ancient world. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was a 110-foot-tall statue that stood at the entrance of the harbor at Rhodes. It was built in 282 BCE and was a representation of Helios, the Greek sun god. It was destroyed by an earthquake 56 years later, in 226 BCE.
