The "Grotto of the Nymph Egeria" is one of the many etchings by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778), renowned for his etchings of Rome and its antiquities. This particular work is part of his series "Le Antichità Romane" (Roman Antiquities), which was produced in the mid-18th century and aimed to document the architectural marvels of ancient Rome. The grotto, named after the nymph Egeria from Roman mythology, is believed to be a natural cave or artificial structure located in the Caffarella Park, part of the Appian Way Regional Park in Rome. According to legend, Egeria was a divine consort and counselor to Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome.

Piranesi's etching captures the romantic and picturesque qualities of the grotto, which was a popular subject for artists and travelers on the Grand Tour during the 18th century. His work not only reflects the fascination with classical antiquity but also contributes to the understanding of the cultural and historical context of the period. Piranesi's attention to detail, mastery of light and shadow, and the dramatic use of perspective are evident in this etching, which serves as both an artistic interpretation and an archaeological record.

The "Grotto of the Nymph Egeria" stands out as an example of Piranesi's skill in blending the real and the imagined, creating a sense of grandeur and decay that is characteristic of his vedute (views) of Rome. His works, including this etching, have been influential in shaping the European imagination of classical antiquity and continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance.
