In
his sequel to "Athenian Black Figure Vases," John Boardman, Professor
Emeritus at Oxford University, covers the invention of the "red figure"
technique in about 530 BC. Professor Boardman illuminates the ancient
art form by placing the painters and their vases within the history
of Athens and the greater tradition of Greek mythology.
