''From Calumny of Apelles'' is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli. Created in 1494–95, the work is a complex allegory based on a description of a lost painting by the ancient Greek artist Apelles, as recounted by the classical author Lucian. Botticelli's interpretation is a moral and philosophical commentary on the nature of calumny, or false accusation, and its destructive effects. The painting is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

The composition of the painting is intricate, with a series of figures representing personifications of deceit, conspiracy, fraud, repentance, and truth, all centered around the main figure of Calumny. At the far left, an innocent man is dragged before the king, who is advised by Ignorance and Suspicion. Calumny, a striking woman, is led by Envy and accompanied by the figures of Deceit and Fraud. Behind this group, Repentance looks towards the naked Truth, who points towards heaven. The detailed figures and their interactions are set within a classical architectural framework, which adds to the gravity of the scene.

Botticelli's work reflects the humanist interests of his time, drawing on classical sources to address contemporary issues of justice and morality. The painting's theme was particularly resonant in the politically charged atmosphere of Florence, where accusations and slander could have serious consequences. ''From Calumny of Apelles'' is considered one of Botticelli's most significant works, showcasing his ability to convey complex ideas through allegory and his mastery of composition and form. The painting remains an important example of Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
