Red-figure vase painting is one of the most important
styles of figural Greek vase
painting. It developed in Athens around 520 BC and remained in use until the late
3rd century BC. It replaced the previously dominant style of black-figure
vase painting within
a few decades. Its modern name is based on the figural depictions in red colour
on a black background, in contrast to the preceding black-figure style with
black figures on a red background.
