Red-Figure Pottery is a style of ancient Greek pottery that emerged around 530 BCE. It is characterized by red figures painted on a black background, allowing for greater detail and realism in the depiction of human forms and scenes. Artists used a fine brush to create intricate designs, which made it possible to show more expressive poses and facial features compared to the earlier Black-Figure Pottery style. This pottery was commonly used for various purposes, including storage, serving, and ceremonial functions. Many pieces feature scenes from Greek mythology, daily life, and athletic competitions, providing valuable insights into ancient Greek culture and society.
