The "Sepolcro di Cecilia Metella" is an etching by the renowned Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, created in the mid-18th century. Piranesi, born in 1720 in Mogliano Veneto, is celebrated for his detailed and dramatic representations of Roman architecture and antiquities. His works are characterized by their intricate detail, grand scale, and the evocative atmosphere they convey, often blending historical accuracy with imaginative embellishment.

The etching depicts the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, a prominent ancient Roman mausoleum located on the Via Appia Antica in Rome. This monumental tomb, dating back to the 1st century BC, was built for Cecilia Metella, the daughter of a Roman consul. The structure is one of the most well-preserved and iconic examples of Roman funerary architecture, featuring a cylindrical tower atop a square base, adorned with classical motifs and inscriptions.

Piranesi's rendering of the Sepolcro di Cecilia Metella is a testament to his fascination with Rome's ancient ruins and his mastery of the etching technique. The artwork captures the imposing presence of the tomb, surrounded by the remnants of the Roman landscape. Piranesi's use of light and shadow, along with his meticulous attention to architectural detail, brings a sense of grandeur and timelessness to the scene. The etching not only serves as a historical record of the tomb's appearance in the 18th century but also reflects Piranesi's romanticized vision of Rome as a city of eternal ruins and sublime decay.

Piranesi's works, including the Sepolcro di Cecilia Metella, played a significant role in the 18th-century revival of interest in classical antiquity and influenced the development of neoclassical art and architecture. His etchings were widely circulated and admired by contemporaries and continue to be studied and appreciated for their artistic and historical significance. The Sepolcro di Cecilia Metella remains a quintessential example of Piranesi's ability to capture the majesty and mystery of ancient Rome through his unparalleled skill as an etcher.
