"Questo Fu Fabricato Da Augusto, E Dedicato A Marcello Suo Nipote" is an etching by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, who lived from 1720 to 1778. Piranesi was an influential figure in the world of art and architecture, known for his detailed and dramatic etchings of Rome and its ancient monuments. This particular work is part of his larger series of etchings that document the grandeur and decay of Roman architecture.

The title of the etching translates to "This was built by Augustus and dedicated to his nephew Marcellus," referring to the Theatre of Marcellus in Rome. The Theatre of Marcellus is an ancient open-air theatre that was initially planned by Julius Caesar and completed by Augustus in 13 BC. It was dedicated to Augustus' nephew, Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who was considered a potential heir but died young.

Piranesi's etching captures the imposing structure of the Theatre of Marcellus with meticulous attention to architectural detail and a sense of romantic ruin. His work often emphasized the sublime and the picturesque, highlighting the contrast between the grandeur of ancient Rome and its contemporary state of decay. This etching is no exception, showcasing Piranesi's skill in rendering both the majesty and the melancholic beauty of ancient ruins.

Piranesi's etchings were not merely artistic endeavors; they were also scholarly works that contributed to the study of classical architecture. His detailed observations and precise depictions provided valuable insights into Roman engineering and design, influencing both contemporary and future architects and historians.

"Questo Fu Fabricato Da Augusto, E Dedicato A Marcello Suo Nipote" stands as a testament to Piranesi's dual legacy as an artist and an archaeologist. It reflects his deep admiration for the architectural achievements of ancient Rome and his desire to preserve their memory through his art. This etching, like many of Piranesi's works, continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
