Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the last phase of the Greek Archaic period, from around 540 BCE to around 480 BCE. It is characterized in vase painting by the introduction of the Red-figure method, and in both vase painting and sculpture by the development of figures that are more naturalistic and that have more fluid movements than in earlier phases.
