ARHI 30120 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Figure Painting, Red-Figure Pottery, Black-Figure Pottery
Document Summary
Think about representative objects and see how each contributes. Plan, elevation, siting, implications about approach to divinity, ritual, divinity. Last monumental painted amphora - nessos amphora. Miniature techniques from the east come in, begin large scale monumental black figure painting. After 620 b. c. , we have lots of virtuosic pots on non-monumental, large pots. Athenians begin to compete in pottery against the now sloppy corinthian pottery. It is an athenian open cauldron of sorts. Earliest painter we know of is sophidos, because he signs his pots. Clearly based off of the metal form of a cauldron. There are various horizontal zones as in the corinthian pottery. This is considered attic/athenian black figure painting. More description - the top is the widest diameter and the most active part of the pot and is bounded by the lip. The figures are in narrative style - they are simply facing each other.
