	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.

	Etruscan Pottery
		It is found in both the black-figure and the red figure pottery styles.
		Athenian pottery of the 6th century BC often features narrative scenes composed of black figures painted on a light inset background panel, while the surrounding vase surface is a deep, lustrous black.
		The red hues mimicked the colour and tone of sun-bronzed skin and dramatically spotlighted the figures against the dark background.

	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.

	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'.

	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.

		Sué 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.
		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.

	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.

	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.

	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.

	Greek Pottery
		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.
		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.
		After that Attic pottery went into a slow but steady decline, and no vases of any note were painted after the middle of the fourth century B.C., though, as we shall see, vase painting continued in other parts of the Greek world.

		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.

		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.
		In the images of pottery workshops that we have, the tasks of forming the vases on the wheel and of painting them are divided between potters and vase-painters.
