Scope note
Refers to a style of vase painting found in Eretria. It developed in the first half of the seventh century BCE with exuberant, large-scale compositions executed in a combination of silhouette and outline. By around 500 BCE, vases were of similar form to earlier ones, but decorated in a new, bold black-figure style.
