| | Black-figure pottery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The black-figure pottery technique is a style of ancient Greek pottery painting in which the decoration appears as black silhouettes on a red background. | | | Black-figure pottery typically depicted figures in silhouette, but it was somewhat limited in artistic scope due to the limitations of engraving tools. | | | The most famous named painter is Exekias, a vase painter of the 6th century BC who is best known for his battle scenes. |

| | Red-figure pottery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Red-figure pottery is a style of Athenian pottery, later adopted in Southern Italy, in which the figure outlines, details and the background are painted black, while the figure itself is not painted. | | | Red-figure pottery is considered to mark the apex of Greek pottery, as most vases or cups famous today for their skillful painting are in the red-figure style. | | | Red-figure pottery was popularized by a group of artists known as "the Pioneers" (among them Euphronios and Euthymides). |

| | This is a very common scene found in Early Black Figure, such as is depicted by the Nettos Painter and the Gorgon painter only a about two decades before. | | | Black Figure represents a maturing of Attic pottery, where scattered mythological images and narrative take a step into a popular style that becomes the basis of Classical art. | | | In many ways, he was much the same as his contemporaries, but his choice of images and oddities of style often challenged the Black Figure style as it was and gave him the appearance of a foreigner to it (Boardman 58). |

| | BLACK-FIGURE NECK AMPHORA |
| | This amphora was decorated with its male figures painted in black and detailed with elegantly incised lines; women, however, are depicted in a cream-colored glaze. | | | In 1964, Greek pottery specialist Dietrich von Bothmer baptized the unnamed craftsman who painted this particular amphora as "The Dayton Painter." Consequently, Dayton's piece is known as the "name vase" which helps to identify other works by the same hand. | | | A companion vase by "The Dayton Painter" of similar shape and decoration is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. |

| | Ancient Greek artists needed to understand the shape of the figure and the background in order to paint both red-figure and black-figure pottery (see description of vase painting on page 6 and 7). | | | The figure should be a single shape, as simple looking as possible, in the center of the composition. | | | The part of a composition that we pay attention to is called figure. |

This group deliberately sought to be old-fashioned in a period when the black-figure technique is just past its prime. | | | The mannered, angular poses and elongated proportions of his figures, with small heads and long limbs, exhibit this tendency. | | | His attention to detail and love of intricacy are remarkable; note how he varies the details of what each figure wears. |

| | Instead of painting figures of people in outline, the Athenian potters began to paint people in silhouette: this is called black-figure, because the people are all black. | | | This is because the iron mixes with the oxygen in the air. | | | Then you mix a little of the wet clay with a lot of water, to make a kind of paint (called the slip), which you use to make the black part of the picture. |

Gabrici, in his monograph on Cumae,[[2]] included some discussion of the dating significance of the Cumae pottery, which, as he suggested, showed that the necropolis in which it was found was in use in the late archaic period. | | | Among the integral collections that go to make up the ancient art treasures of the National Museum of Naples is the Cumae Collection (Raccolta Cumana) consisting of material from the excavations of Leopoldo di Borbone at Cumae in 1852 and 1857; this was presented to the Museum in 1861 by Prince Eugenio di Savoia-Carignano. | | | Otherwise the collection has not been specifically published until now. |
