About this book

"The quality of Greek painting and the intrinsic interest of the figure subjects chosen for depiction were never greater than in Athens in the fifty years following the invention of the `red figure' technique in about 530 BC. This is the period covered by this book, a sequel to Athenian Black Figure Vases also written by John Boardman, Lincoln Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology and Art in Oxford."--Back cover.
