Greek Painting
Greek painting, primarily from the Geometric to the Hellenistic periods, showcases a rich evolution of styles and techniques. Early works often featured simple geometric patterns, while later periods introduced more complex figures and scenes, often depicting mythology, daily life, and athletic competitions.
The most notable forms of Greek painting include vase painting and frescoes. Vase painting, especially in the Black-Figure and Red-Figure techniques, allowed for detailed storytelling on pottery. Frescoes, found in sites like Pompeii and Knossos, adorned walls with vibrant colors and intricate designs, reflecting the cultural values and beliefs of ancient Greece.
