This article presents a synthesis of the developments in the field of Greek vase painting during the last 15 years. I first place various types of publications and fields of inquiry into a historical context and then consider the current state of research in the various subareas. I close with comments on emerging practices and trends in the field and some of the major problems that need to be addressed.
