EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Calumny" by Apelles, a famous Italian painter from the 16th century. Created in 1560, this engraving measures approximately 14 3/8 x 12 1/2 inches and is a remarkable piece of art preserved by Artokoloro. The composition depicts a powerful scene filled with emotion and symbolism. The central figure in the artwork is Calumny, who represents false accusations and slander. Surrounding her are various characters that symbolize different aspects of deceit, including Envy, Deception, Suspicion, and Ignorance. This intricate portrayal captures the destructive nature of falsehoods within society. Giorgio Ghisi skillfully executed this engraving after Luca Penni's original painting from Florence between 1500-1504 to Paris in honor of King Francis I. Ghisi was an Italian artist hailing from Mantua (ca. 1520-1582), known for his exceptional talent in reproducing artworks through engravings. Artokoloro has meticulously preserved this historical masterpiece as part of their collection. With its rich details and profound meaning, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Apelles' artistic genius while reflecting on the enduring relevance of truth versus deception.
