Periods and StylesRed-Figure
The red-figure style appeared between 530-525 BC.It was achieved by simply reversing the manner of black figure painting.The red figures are reserved and the background is painted.This is more difficult but it allowed the design to be seen better at a distance and it leaves the contour of the pot more visible.
