The emergence of "orientalizing" in Greek art is a large and complex topic which has occupied the attention of scholars since the emergence of the modern discipline of Greek art history. This article addresses some of the broader issues that bear upon the process of "orientalizing," focusing upon the two mainland ceramic traditions, Attic and Corinthian, that were arguably the most influential in the formation of a figural style in Greek vase painting. It encompasses a time frame of roughly 75 years, the last half of the eighth and the first quarter of the seventh century B. C.
