"Calumny of Apelles" is a tempera panel painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. Completed in 1495, the work is an intricate allegory based on a story recounted by the ancient Roman author Lucian and involves the legendary Greek painter Apelles. The painting, which measures 62 cm × 91 cm (24 in × 36 in), is held in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

Botticelli's "Calumny of Apelles" is a visual representation of the tale in which Apelles, a renowned artist of antiquity, was falsely accused of conspiracy against the ruler of Egypt, Ptolemy IV. The narrative was later described by the Renaissance humanist and biographer Giorgio Vasari, who provided a detailed interpretation of the allegory. In the painting, Botticelli depicts a scene where an innocent man is dragged before a king by personifications of Calumny, Deceit, Fraud, and Envy, while Repentance looks on in despair and Truth appeals to the ruler.

The composition is a masterful example of Botticelli's linear style and his ability to convey complex narratives through allegorical figures. The painting's theme of falsehood and injustice is as relevant today as it was in the Renaissance, serving as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of calumny and the importance of seeking truth. Botticelli's work is celebrated for its elegance, expressive figures, and the moral message it conveys, making it a significant piece in the study of Renaissance art and the artist's oeuvre.
