Painting Description
"Calumny of Apelles" is a tempera painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. Completed in 1495, the artwork is an interpretation of a lost painting by the ancient Greek painter Apelles, described by the Roman author Lucian in his work "On Calumny." Botticelli's version, also known as "Calumny" (detail 3), is renowned for its intricate depiction of a moral and allegorical tale.
The painting illustrates the story of a young man who was falsely accused of a crime and subsequently executed. Apelles, having been a victim of calumny himself, created the original work to reflect on the destructive power of false accusations and deceit. In Botticelli's rendition, the central figure of Calumny is being led by Deceit and Fraud towards the seated king, who is flanked by Ignorance and Suspicion. Truth is depicted as a naked woman being dragged away, while Repentance, looking towards the heavens, laments the injustice.
Botticelli's "Calumny of Apelles" is a masterful example of the artist's ability to convey complex narratives and moral lessons through his art. The painting is celebrated for its elegant figures, sophisticated use of space, and the clarity with which it communicates its message. It is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its historical significance and artistic merit.
