Dish with the Calumny of Apelles and the arms of the Ridolfi family, Nicolá da Urbino (attributed to), c. 1520 - c. 1525 Canvas Print
Round dish of multicolored painted majolica, painted with an allegory of the Laster after Apelles. A naked, handcuffed man lies on his knees in front of a judge's seat. The naked young man represents the Innocence, who is being taken to court. The judge has dog ears, a sign of stupidity. The Ignorance, standing next to the throne, obscures his view, through the white cloth. The woman with the torch, behind the young man, represents the Slander: she slanders the innocent young man. The Naked Truth is at the back, but no one listens to her words. The border around the scene consists of grotesques: a succession of curls, fish, monster heads and masks, between which cartouches with inscriptions. At the top center is the coat of arms of the Florentine Ridolfi family.
