Calumny of Apelles, 1565. An allegory in which Truth triumphs over all her enemies. The subject is taken from a painting by the classical Greek artist Apelles. Latin titles explain the figures: Sitting on a throne to the right is a king with large ears. He stretches out his hand past two female figures labelled Ignorance and Suspicion, towards Slander. Slander holds a blazing torch and drags a young man who prays to heaven for the gods to witness his innocence. Treachery,Deceit and Envy follow suit, far behind come Penitence and Naked Truth.
