''Calumny of Apelles'' is an illustrious painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, completed around 1494-1495. This work is renowned for its intricate allegorical narrative, which is derived from a description by the ancient Greek writer Lucian of a lost painting by the renowned artist Apelles. Botticelli's interpretation is a complex visual allegory of calumny, or false accusation, which serves as a moralizing tale about the dangers of slander and deceit.

The painting, executed in tempera on panel, is a testament to Botticelli's mastery of composition, figure, and space. It depicts a scene in which an innocent man is being dragged before a judge, surrounded by personifications of Deceit, Envy, and Conspiracy, while Remorse looks on from behind. The figure of Truth is seen off to the side, pointing towards the heavens. The work is characterized by its dramatic intensity, the elegance of its figures, and the clarity of its narrative, all hallmarks of Botticelli's mature style.

Housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, ''Calumny of Apelles'' is considered one of Botticelli's most significant and enigmatic works. It reflects the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Florentine Renaissance, where classical themes were revived with contemporary relevance. The painting's moral message, combined with its artistic excellence, has continued to fascinate scholars, critics, and art lovers for centuries, securing its place as a pivotal work in the canon of Western art history.
