Red figure Hydria 43cm, Sack of Troy,Museum Replicas

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. Its modern name is based on the figural depictions in red colour on a black background, in contrast to the preceding black-figure style with black figures on a red background.

Sack of Troy encircles the shoulder. From handle left to right:Aeneas  flees, with his father Anchises  on his back and his son Askanios leading the way. Casandra holds on to the Palladion, beseeching Ajax not to harm her.Priam, who took refuge at an altar, holds the body of Astyanax, already killed by Neoptolemos, on his lap. A woman attacks with a pestle, others mourn.

Analysis: a multi-figure narrative encircling the shoulder is very unusual on this shape. The detailed rendering of the Sack of Troy was painted shortly after the Persians had invaded Athens and sacked the Acropolis: a contemporary event is associated with the mythical past.
