Cataloguing some hundred thousand examples of ancient Greek painted pottery held in collections around the world, the authoritative Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum (Corpus of Ancient Vases) is the oldest research project of the Union Académique Internationale. Nearly four hundred volumes have been published since the first fascicule appeared in 1922.

This new fascicule of the CVA—the first issued by the Princeton University Art Museum—presents all of the Attic red-figure vessels in the collection except for wine cups and oil bottles. Among the works catalogued, which range in date from the late sixth to the mid-fourth centuries BCE, are a significant column-krater by the Suessula Painter and notable hydriai by the Dikaios Painter, Polygnotos, and the Niobid Painter.
