Met Special Topics Page Athenian Vase Painting The firing process of both red- and black-figure vessels consisted of three stages. Figures could be articulated with glaze lines or dilute washes of glaze applied with a brush. In black-figure vase painting, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned black during firing, while the background was left the color of the clay. www.metmuseum.org /toah/hd/vase/hd_vase.htm

V14 - Red Figure Pelops Vase The red figure style of vase painting arose in Athens after 530 b.c., following the black figure style of vase decoration. While the black figure style depicted black figures on a ochre, white or red background, the red figure style reversed the design, showing red figures on a usually black or white background. Red figure painting allowed increased realism for the artist. www.artfromgreece.com /stories/v14.html

Red-figure Pottery Because the brush is easier to control than an engraving tool, red- figure vases tend to be more detailed than black-figure. Red-figure pottery was made by first painting the outlines of the figures, then providing the details, then painting the grounds. www.beloit.edu /~arthist/historyofart/greek/redfigure.htm

Dictionary It was invented in Athens about 525 BC, perhaps inspired by other arts in which figures are set against a dark background. The red-figure technique for figure and subsidiary decoration on vases involves the painting of outline, with linear detail, and the background filled with black. It is thus like a reverse of black figure with detail executed by a brush rather than a graver, which gave the artist more freedom for the new, realistic style he sought to express. www.beazley.ox.ac.uk /CGPrograms/Dict/ASP/OpenDictionaryBody.asp?name=Red-figure

red-figure pottery --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Online Article In red-figure technique, the background was painted black, and the outline details on the figures were also painted (rather than incised) in black, but the rest of each figure was unpainted and so retained the orange-red colour of the natural vase.

Talaria Enterprises Greek Vase Reproductions, Aphrodite and Dionysis Red Figure Vase, Siren Urn, In about 530 B.C., the red figure techniques of painting was invented in Athens. In Athens, in the 5th century B.C., while many artists were making red-figure vases, some artists were experimenting with a new technique of painting figures on a white ground. In the early 8th century, the artist has begun to admit figure decoration to his vases, and marks the introduction of the most fundamental element in the later tradition of Classical art, the representation of men, gods, and animals. www.museumcopy.com /product_lists/vase_pg1.html

CAIDA Analysis of Code-Red - CAIDA : ANALYSIS : security : code-red They christened the worm "Code-Red" both because the highly caffeinated "Code Red" Mountain Dew fueled their efforts to understand the workings of the worm and because the worm defaces some web pages with the phrase "Hacked by Chinese". There is no evidence either supporting or refuting the involvement of Chinese hackers with the Code-Red worm.

Six's Technique "Red-Figure" Vase Three slender, elongated, willowy provincial-style male figures are applied around the cup with creamy reddish-orange slip over a matte black glaze. Background: The inspiration for these vases with figures added in red paint comes originally from the true Attic red-figure. Each is adorned with a radiate crown and holds a strigil in a cursorily rendered, outstretched hand. www.antiquities.net /gre2218.htm

Epiktetos and Pamphaios - AMAM We know this because of the inscriptions painted in red on the Oberlin cup: "Pamphaios made it" in the tondo, "Epiktetos" on side A, and "painted it" on side B. The majority of Greek vases are unsigned, but on the basis of style have been attributed to various artistic personalities. Given the figure's nudity, the cup in its left hand, and its reclining posture on couch cushions, it might well be a hetaira or courtesan, as on the kylix attributed to Epiktetos at the J. Paul Getty Museum. The male figure on side A also holds two wine vessels: an oinochoe or wine jug clenched in his right hand, and a lipped kylix balanced on his extended left arm. www.oberlin.edu /allenart/collection/epiktetos.html

OU Classics Conference Jan '96 - Lapatin full paper The literary tradition does, however, reveal a strong link between the Athena Parthenos and Athena Hygieia, and, along with the Epidaurean figures, may even help to recover the iconography of Pyrrhos' lost bronze, a statue created only a decade or so after Pheidias' gold and ivory masterpiece. Rather, the magnificent figure created by Pheidias may have been selected as the most emphatic divine epiphany, vividly conveying the presence of the goddess. Why did Genethlis chose this figure to honor Asklepios? www.open.ac.uk /Arts/CC96/lapatin.htm

Red-figure pottery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Red-figure pottery is a style of Greek pottery 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. This way, the figures take on the typical reddish tone of pottery after it has been burned in the presence of oxygen. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Red_figure

Etruscan Pottery The red hues mimicked the colour and tone of sun-bronzed skin and dramatically spotlighted the figures against the dark background. Stylized human and animal figures were painted on the surface of bucchero in black, red, and white; and the black-figure style was expertly copied. It is found in both the black-figure and the red figure pottery styles. www.mysteriousetruscans.com /art/pottery.html

Pottery of Ancient Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The fully mature black-figure technique, with added red and white details and incising for outlines and details, originated in Corinth during the early 7th century BC and was introduced into Attica about a generation later; it flourished until the end of the 6th century BC. Distinctive pottery that ranks as art was produced on some of the Aegean islands, in Crete, and in the wealthy Greek colonies of southern Italy and Sicily. Most surviving pottery consists of drinking vessels such as amphorae, kraters (bowls for mixing wine and water), hydria (water jars), libation bowls, jugs and cups. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Greek_pottery

Notebook The introduction of the red figure style which in all probability was made by the 'painter of Andocides', an artist of the Kerameikos, that is, the quarter of Athens where the potters lived, opened new possibilities in the ceramic arts. Whereas in the Mycenaean period pottery was decorated as a whole and a single motif covered the entire area, either in the form of flowers or sea life, octopi, and so on, now the surface of the pot was separated into parallel bands of geometric patterns. The inscriptions continue to be numerous as in the black figure style, but the names of the figures represented become very rare, except in certain types of pot which portrayed handsome young men of the aristocracy of Athens usually with the name inscribed together with the descriptive 'beautiful'. www.noteaccess.com /MATERIALS/Ceramics/AncGr.htm

Black-figure Pottery In black-figure pottery, areas of black, red and white are painted as a substrate for the figures which, after firing, are enhanced by incising the outlines into the red surface. www.beloit.edu /~arthist/historyofart/greek/blackfigure.htm

Search Tips About Ceramics Life Home Health Family The background was painted black, and the figures were left in reserve on the red-brown clay surface; details on the figures were painted in black, which allowed the artist greater freedom in drawing. SuĂ© was another pottery of this period, a gray stoneware fired in a climbing kiln and decorated with a natural ash glaze (formed during the firing as ash from the wood fuel fell on the pots). The nature and type of pottery, or ceramics (Greek keramos,”potter´s clay”), is determined by the composition of the clay and the way it is prepared; the temperature at which it is fired; and the glazes used. ceramics.lifetips.com /article/154/all-about-pottery/index.html

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 98.1.24 This volume is the full publication of all the red-figure and white-ground pottery excavated from the Athenian Agora from 1931-1967, that is, from the beginning of the American excavation of the ancient civic center until the end of its second directorship under T. Leslie Shear in 1967. Further confusing the issue is the fact that the ligature delta/epsilon, which identifies the Rotroff/Oakley pottery (designated as deposit H 4:5) as publicly-owned, also appears in contexts shared by some of the figural pottery that M. treats. This graffito is found on plain black pottery from a smaller deposit, a well at H 6:5, excavated in 1935, but located not 50 meters away from the deposit published by Rotroff and Oakley. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/1998/98.1.24.html

Red Figure Kylix Lesson Plan In the UMFA’s kylix the figures on the outside are drinking and dancing while the one on the inside is solemn and carries a bat or weapon. The black slip surrounds the figures which are on the outside of the kylix as well one on the inside. The figures around the outside rim and the other composition on the inside of the bowl are very detailed. umfa.dev.verite.com /?id=MjM2

Archaic Greek Pottery Black-figure pottery was named because the figures themselves were silhouetted in black against the red of the clay. Pottery was also useful for funerary aspects such as a tombstone with figures or texts painted on it. In this technique, the figure was outlined in the black glaze, then black glaze was apainted over the background instead of the figure. campus.northpark.edu /history/WebChron/Mediterranean/ArchaicPot.CP.html

WowEssays.com - The History Of Art Pottery from this historic era depicts stories of the culture, which created it with figures either painted in red on a black background named Red Figure Ware, or Black figures painted on a red background. The use of the hierarchical scale to enhance important figures and representing men in a dark red complexion and women in a lighter yellowish coloration attests to their dedication to true representation. Tracking the human form and its relationship to art, history, and culture as the human figure evolves through the centuries as artists perfect their talents is an effective way to establish how art has evolved throughout all culture and eras. www.wowessays.com /dbase/aa3/cng336.shtml

Greek Pottery In the drawing of the human figure, the strict silhouette of the geometric age now gives way to outline drawings that look curiously unsubstantial, since most of the available background is still filled with all manner of patterns. In the field of painted Greek pottery, it may without exaggeration be considered the finest Greek vase there is. The photgraphs demonstrate clearly and immediately why the heater has become the keystone of the Museum's collection of Greek vases. The great cup painters of this period are Onesimos, Makron, Douris, and the Brygos Painter (Figures 19, 20, 21), whose activities came to an end shortly after the victory over the Persians in 479 B.C. With liberty and independence established, Athens grew powerful and rich. www.yasou.org /ancient/pottery.htm

column In Red Figure technique, which began around 530 BC, the process was reversed and the figures appeared in red against a black background. In Black Figure technique, which first appeared in Corinth in the early 7th century BC, the vase surface was covered with a dilute wash of clay. Red could be added for human hair, horses' manes and parts of garments, and white for women's flesh and the hair of old men. www.museum.upenn.edu /Greek_World/attic.html

ancient greek pottery One of the stranger depictions of pottery establishments is a rough sketch on a Boeotian black-figured skyphos (plate 20.)45 This silhouette drawing shows the master of the workshop (as he has been referred to by both Beazley and Richter) sitting on a block with a kylix in his left hand. A red-figure bell krater by the Komaris painter in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, depicts an active pottery workshop (plate 16.)39 This image is interesting because, like the Boston kylix by the Antiphon painter (plate 13,) the pots that are depicted are the same as the one on which they are painted. The drawing of this figure is interesting because while the other workers have been depicted from a side view, his entire chest is visible despite his own sideways stance--an early attempt at 3/4 view. cm.aces.utexas.edu /faculty/skrukowski/writings/pots.html
