"Calumny of Apelles (detail 2)" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. This painting, created in the late 15th century, is a detailed segment of a larger work known as "The Calumny of Apelles," which itself is an interpretation of a lost painting by the ancient Greek artist Apelles, described by the Roman author Lucian in his work "On Calumny." Botticelli's rendition, believed to have been completed around 1494-1495, is a masterful example of the artist's ability to convey complex narratives and moral messages through his art.

The painting illustrates a scene of deceit and injustice, as described by Lucian, where an innocent man is being falsely accused and led before a judge. In the detail known as "Calumny of Apelles (detail 2)," Botticelli focuses on specific characters from the allegory, which personifies Slander, Ignorance, Suspicion, and Envy. The attention to detail in this segment showcases Botticelli's skill in depicting human emotion and the interactions between figures, as well as his use of color and composition to enhance the storytelling.

Botticelli's work is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, and remains an important example of Renaissance art, reflecting the humanist themes of the period and the revival of interest in classical antiquity. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context, as it provides insight into the values and concerns of Renaissance society, particularly the power of rhetoric and the consequences of false accusations.

The "Calumny of Apelles (detail 2)" continues to be studied and admired for its intricate portrayal of Apelles' allegory and is considered a testament to Botticelli's enduring legacy as one of the most influential artists of the Italian Renaissance.
