"Miravan Breaking Open the Tomb of His Ancestors" is an oil painting by Joseph Wright of Derby, an English painter renowned for his works depicting the spirit of the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment. Created in 1772, the painting is a testament to Wright's fascination with dramatic lighting and moral narratives. It illustrates the moment from a story by the French writer Jean-Jacques Barthélemy in which the Eastern prince Miravan, guided by misguided respect for his ancestors, decides to open their tomb. The act of desecration is highlighted by the stark contrast between the darkness of the tomb and the light emanating from a lamp, a hallmark of Wright's chiaroscuro technique.

The painting delves into themes of reverence for the past versus the Enlightenment's forward-looking ethos. Wright's depiction of Miravan, caught in the act of violating the sanctity of the grave, serves as a commentary on the tension between tradition and progress. The work is emblematic of Wright's ability to capture complex emotional states and moral dilemmas through his art.

"Miravan Breaking Open the Tomb of His Ancestors" is part of Wright of Derby's broader oeuvre, which includes other notable works such as "An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump" and "The Alchemist Discovering Phosphorus." His paintings are celebrated for their innovative use of light and shadow, as well as their engagement with contemporary philosophical and scientific themes. This particular painting contributes to the understanding of 18th-century British art and the cultural milieu in which Wright operated, reflecting the era's preoccupations with antiquity, knowledge, and the human experience.
