Summary:

EARLY GREEK VASE PAINTING completes John Boardman's study of Greek vase painting in the World of Art series. Boardman demonstrates that all components of later Greek art can be traced through vase painting from the 11th to the 6th centuries B.C. The works discussed here display the Greek painter's craft at its zenith, and later achievements of Greek art can be fully understood only in light of this formative period. 588 illustrations.
