The Art of Vase-Painting in Classical Athens

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Professor Martin Robertson draws together the results of a lifetime's study of Greek vase-painting, tracing the history of figure-drawing on Athenian pottery from the invention of the 'red-figure' technique in the later archaic period to the abandonment of figured vase-decoration two hundred years later. The book covers red-figure and also work produces over the same period in the same workshops in black-figure and other techniques, especially that of drawing in outline on a white ground.
