Enhance your decor with an Ancient Greek Red Figure Museum Replicas attributed to Pronomos Painter (400BC). Red-figure vase painting is one of the most important styles of figural Greek vase painting. It developed in Athens around 520 BC and remained in use until the late 3rd century BC.It replaced the previously dominant style of black figure vase painting within a few decades. On the front is a depiction of the Gigantomachy, the terrible battle between the Olympian gods and the Giants. Ares and the Dioskouroi attack the Giants from above, who defend themselves, their backs turned to the spectator. The vigorous movement and the bold innovations by the vase-painter (such as depicting the figures from behind, with the requisite visual foreshortening to render space, the background of which is emphasized by distributing the figures on two planes), point to a painter of the late 5th cent. B.C., who was certainly inspired by some contemporary work of monumental painting. From Tanagra. Location: National Archaeological Museum of Athens
