Customer reviews
Leider sind die Stelen fest am Sockel verbunden, hätte sie leiber variabel, trotzdem sehr schön. Der Versand hat etwas gedauert, dachte die Bestellung sei nicht angkommen, da die E-Mail Bestellung doppelt rausging. Aber letztlich hat doch alles geklappt. Vielen Dank! Verstehe die Benotung nicht, wenn 5/5 sehr gut ist, dann bewerte ich mit gut!
A sculptural technique where the artwork is cut in from a stone or wooden surface and not modelled.
There are different degrees of relief depending on the degree of projection. The range includes low relief/bas-relief and high relief. The sunk relief is a common form of reliefs in Ancient Egypt, in which the depicted scenes were cut into the stone or wood surface.
Among the most famous reliefs are the works of the Florentine master Lorenzo Ghiberti. Among other artworks, he created the pair of gilded bronze doors of the Baptistery in Florence, called by Michelangelo the "Gates of Paradise".
A true-to-the-original reproduction of an artwork in the same size and with the best possible material and colour uniformity.
The mould is usually taken directly from the original so that the replication reproduces even the finest details. After casting the replication, using the most appropriate method, the surface is polished, patinated, gilded or painted according to the original.
A replication of ars mundi is a recognizable copy of the original.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
