Duccio
Not many paintings survive from ancient Greece because most were done on wood board and were not well protected. Surviving are numerous examples of vase painting. These pieces range from drinking vessels to urns and date from the 6th century BC. The first style is Geometric moving into Black figure, (black silhouettes on a red background) later styles develop into a red and white figure. Most major museums have some sort of Greek Pottery. The Louvre, Delphi Archaeological Museum, museums in London, Munich and Athens have large collections. The famous Renaissance painter El Greco is also a Greek painter, and Demetrios Galanis is an early 20th century artist, so it is best to specify which era is of interest.
