Answer 2

d. an ancient Greek technique in which the figures appear as black silhouettes on red background.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most used ceramic objects as a support for Greek painting were vases.

At first, the pieces served as articles of religious ceremonies and as utilitarian artifacts, later they were also recognized as artistic objects.

The technique that became known as "black figures" was initially employed in Greece.

It consisted of painting the silhouettes of the figures with a black pigment and then marking the outline and interior elements with a pointed tool, leaving clear traces.

The most outstanding painter in this type of art was Exéquias.
