The Red-Figure Pottery
ISBN: 9780876610749 / Angielski / Twarda / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The author discusses the reasons for the production of Corinthian red figure even in limited quantities. Six painters are identified as responsible for at least half the known pieces. Thirteen deposits provide chronological evidence to supplement that of the painting style....
