The Calumny of Apelles is a 1560 ink by Giorgio Ghisi, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a scene with several figures, including a man holding a torch and another with a net. The setting appears to be a room with columns and a statue in the background. A closer look reveals intricate details, such as the folds in the clothing and the expressions on the faces. The use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture.
