This is another John Boardman book covering Greek Art. This style starts during the late 6th century BC, flourishing in the 5th century BC. It was started by the Athenians, and some of the most famous Greek artists are Red Figure Vase painters. John Boardman is a master storyteller, and he is able to tell the story of the Red Figure painters without sounding too distant. His knowledge of such matters shows and he talks as if he really understands the motives of the artists. His dissemination of different artists and their schools will certainly help the layperson or the student of history. This is a Must Buy!
