Black-figure

Period c. 620–480 BC

Figures painted in black slip on the natural red clay, with details incised through to the clay beneath. Invented at Corinth but perfected at Athens, where Exekias brought it to its supreme achievement. The technique demands extraordinary precision with the incising tool.
