CDR-1166: SR Set: Greek Vase Painting

Although the art of Greek wall painting has few surviving works, the development of painting styles live on in the wealth of decorated vases of great beauty that survive to this day. Our set offers examples ranging from ancient Aegean works from Crete ca. 2000 BCE to the late Hellenistic period in the 4th century BCE. Design styles and techniques include Geometric, Orientalizing, black-figure, red-figure, and white ground painting. Over half of these examples are from the collections of our museum vendors: the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Toledo Museum of Art.
