Definitions

English
Orientalizing denotes Greek vases and other arts produced ca. 700-600 BCE. It thus falls between the Geometric (ca. 900-700 BCE) and Archaic (ca. 600-480 BCE) stylistic periods. It is divided into phases, according to region and stylistic development. The term derives from discernible changes in the techniques and appearance of pottery, sculpture, and architecture based on Greek contact with the Near East and Egypt. Chief stylistic trends in vase-painting include the use of animal friezes, hybrid creatures, and rosettes. The term Orientalizing is applied to Athens (where it is also called Protoattic) and other regions, such as Corinth (where it is also called Protocorinthian), East Greece, Crete, and the Cycladic islands. The main vase-painting techniques in Athens and Attica are silhouette, outline, some incision, and the Black and White Style, and major painters include the Analatos Painter, Nettos (Nessos) Painter, and Ram Jug Painter.
