Fifth and first three quarters of the fourth century BCE

This fragment of a vase painting is an indication of what the skene or stage-building looked like.  In the fifth and first three quarters of the fourth century BC, the various elements of the architectural façade you see here were just images painted on a flat panel called skenographia (‘scene-painting’).  Aristotle credits Sophocles with the introduction of scene painting.  In the fifth and most of the fourth century scene painting was never a depiction of natural landscape but represented with perspective the façade of a palace with columns and side porches with doors, as you see here. These paintings were mounted on wooden frames, which were placed in fron of the stage-building.   Scene  painting was not replaced with a real architectural façade until the last quarter of 4th century.
