"Calumny of Apelles" is a tempera painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. Completed in 1495, the work is an exquisite example of Botticelli's mature style, characterized by its linear grace and intricate detail. The painting is an allegorical work based on a description of a lost painting by the ancient Greek artist Apelles, as recounted by the classical author Lucian.

Botticelli's interpretation of the theme centers on the personification of Calumny, depicted as a beautiful but malevolent woman being led by Ignorance and Suspicion. She is accompanied by a retinue of figures representing Fraud, Conspiracy, and Envy, each contributing to the false accusation against an innocent man. At the far left of the painting stands the personification of Truth, a solitary, luminous figure pointing towards the heavens. King Midas, with ass's ears, presides over the scene, symbolizing the foolishness of judgment based on deceit and lies.

The painting is renowned for its allegorical complexity and the virtuosity of its execution. Botticelli's use of space, the eloquent gestures of his figures, and the intricate architectural setting all serve to enhance the moral message of the work. "Calumny of Apelles" is a testament to the intellectual ambitions of Renaissance art, reflecting the period's fascination with classical antiquity and its moral philosophy. The painting is held in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it remains a significant attraction for its historical importance and its display of Botticelli's artistic mastery.
