"The Arch with a Shell Ornament (Robinson 37)" is a notable etching by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778), celebrated for his intricate and imaginative prints of Rome and its antiquities. This work is part of Piranesi's famous series of etchings titled "Le Antichità Romane" (Roman Antiquities), which was produced in the mid-18th century and aimed to document and celebrate the grandeur of Rome's ancient architecture and ruins.

The etching depicts a grand arch adorned with a prominent shell ornament, a motif commonly associated with the Baroque period and suggestive of the influence of classical Roman architecture. The arch is intricately detailed, showcasing Piranesi's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the texture and decay of the ancient structures. The inclusion of the shell, a symbol of pilgrimage and fertility, may also imply a deeper allegorical meaning, reflecting the artist's interest in the layers of cultural and historical significance embedded within Rome's architectural heritage.

Piranesi's work is characterized by its dramatic use of perspective and the artist's creative liberties in enhancing or reimagining the ruins to evoke a sense of awe and nostalgia for the grandeur of the past. "The Arch with a Shell Ornament" is no exception, as it captures the viewer's imagination and serves as a testament to Piranesi's role as both a documentarian and an artist who profoundly influenced the European vision of classical antiquity.

As with many of Piranesi's etchings, "The Arch with a Shell Ornament" has been studied for its artistic technique, historical accuracy, and influence on the European understanding of Roman architecture. It remains an important work within Piranesi's oeuvre and continues to be of interest to art historians, scholars of the Grand Tour, and enthusiasts of 18th-century art.
