Athenian Red Figure Vases: The Classical Period by John Boardman

Athenian Red Figure Vases: The Classical Period by John Boardman

Sir John Boardman's account of Athenian vase painting in the fifth and fourth centuries BC forms the sequel to his world-renowned handbooks on Archaic Black figure and Red Figure vase painting. It offers a detailed survey of all the important painters and workshops, as well as techniques of production and marketing and reveals the fascinating information they give us about the everyday life of the period.

Sir John Boardman was born in 1927, and educated at Chigwell School and Magdalene College, Cambridge. He spent several years in Greece, three of them as Assistant Director of the British School of Archaeology at Athens, and he has excavated in Smyrna, Crete, Chios and Libya. For four years he was an Assistant Keeper in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and he subsequently became Reader in Classical Archaeology and Fellow of Merton College, Oxford. He is now Lincoln Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology and Art in Oxford, and a Fellow of the British Academy, from whom he received the Kenyon Medal in 1995. He was awarded the Onassis Prize for Humanities in 2009. Professor Boardman has written widely on the art and archaeology of Ancient Greece.
