"Avanzi Di Un Antico Sepolcro, Oggi Detto La Conocchia" is an etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian artist known for his detailed and atmospheric prints of Roman architecture and ruins. This work is part of a larger series by Piranesi, often referred to as "Vedute di Roma" (Views of Rome), which captures the grandeur and decay of Roman monuments as they appeared in the 18th century.

The title of the etching translates to "Remains of an Ancient Tomb, Now Called La Conocchia," and it depicts the remnants of a Roman funerary monument. "La Conocchia" refers to a particular ruin that resembled a distaff, a tool used in spinning wool, which is how the site got its name. Piranesi's work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, meticulous attention to detail, and the inclusion of figures to provide a sense of scale and bring the scene to life.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) was an architect, archaeologist, and engraver, and his etchings played a significant role in shaping contemporary and future perceptions of ancient Roman architecture. His works were not only artistic representations but also served as archaeological records of the state of Roman ruins during his lifetime.

"Avanzi Di Un Antico Sepolcro, Oggi Detto La Conocchia" is a testament to Piranesi's skill as an artist and his passion for the ruins of Rome. It reflects the Enlightenment-era interest in classical antiquity and contributed to the development of the neoclassical aesthetic that influenced European art and architecture. The etching is an important piece within Piranesi's oeuvre and offers insight into the historical appreciation and preservation of ancient Roman architecture.
