Definitions

English
Classical denotes Greek vases and other arts produced from ca. 480-323 BCE. It thus falls between the Archaic (ca. 600-480 BCE) and Hellenistic (323-31 BCE) stylistic periods. These dates are based on two historical events: the Persian invasion of Athens in 480 BCE and the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE. Classical is often divided into the three phases of Early, High, and Late, based on stylistic development. The main vase-painting techniques in Athens are red-figure and white-ground, with black-figure still in use for the Panathenaic amphora. Major Athenian vase-painters from this time include the Pan Painter, Niobid Painter, Achilles Painter, Polygnotos, and Eretria Painter.
