"Etruscan Urn Depictions: Eight Plates" is a series of illustrations by Giovanni Battista Passeri, an 18th-century Italian scholar, painter, and antiquarian known for his work on Etruscan antiquities. Passeri's plates are significant for their detailed representation of scenes and motifs found on ancient Etruscan cinerary urns. These urns, typically made of terracotta or stone, were used to hold the ashes of the deceased in Etruscan society, which flourished in central Italy prior to the rise of Roman hegemony.

The eight plates by Passeri are part of his broader efforts to document and interpret Etruscan culture, which, during his time, was a subject of considerable interest among European scholars and artists. His work contributed to the early study of Etruscology—the study of Etruscan history and culture. The illustrations in "Etruscan Urn Depictions: Eight Plates" are notable for their attention to the intricate details of the urns' decorative schemes, which often include mythological and historical scenes, as well as depictions of daily life and funerary rituals.

Passeri's plates serve as a valuable visual record of Etruscan art and beliefs, as many of the original artifacts have been lost or deteriorated over time. His work provided a foundation for later Etruscan studies and continues to be referenced by scholars and enthusiasts of ancient Italic cultures. The plates are also appreciated for their artistic merit, reflecting the aesthetics and engraving techniques of the 18th century.

While Passeri's interpretations of the urns' iconography were influenced by the knowledge and biases of his era, his "Etruscan Urn Depictions: Eight Plates" remains a significant historical resource. It offers insights not only into Etruscan civilization but also into the development of archaeology and the history of classical studies in Europe.
