Description:
|
|
In The Calumny of Apelles, Botticelli drew on the description of a painting by Apelles of Kos, a Greek painter of the Hellenistic Period. Though Apelles' works have not survived, Lucian of Samosata recorded a description in a rhetorical essay on Slander. Calumny, adorned by Treachery and Deceit, appears accusing Innocence before an ass-eared Judge whose heart is moved by her beauty and the blandishments of Ignorance and Suspicion, even as Repentance escorts Truth, too late, into the Judgment Hall. Without description of the setting, Botticelli has presented a throne room elaborately decorated with sculptures and reliefs, drawing from both classic Roman and Biblical sources. Painting restored in 2003. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
