This answer is misleading: the core note is correct (the notable paintings), but much else of what’s written (both in this answer and the linked article) is about much less notable uses and variants of the phrase; and the explanation of the translation is inaccurate.

I shall not believe that ‘And in Arcadia I go’ is a plausible translation unless you can come up with more reliable source than mysteriouswritings.com , which seems like hocus pocus to me. In Wiktionary ego is just said to be the “first person singular personal pronoun, nominative case”, which is all I learnt at school.

The criticisms notwithstanding, +1 for spoilered discussion of "in-universe" relevance of the title.
