    What is Relief?
    Relief is a sculptural technique where the

    sculpted elements remain attached to a solid


    background of the same material.
    The term relief is from the Latin verb relevo, to
    raise.
    To create a sculpture in relief is to give the
    impression that the sculpted material has been
    raised above the background plane.
    A Persian mid-relief made in Iran,
    his is relief carved into a rock on a
    clif

    What is Bas Relief?


    A low relief or bas-relief
    A French term from the Italian basso-relievo
    is a projecting image with a shallow overall depth, for

    example used on coins.

    Bas relief is created either by carving away material (wood,

    stone, ivory, jade, etc.) or adding material to the top of an


    otherwise smooth surface (say, strips of clay to stone).
    This is a technique as old as humankind's artistic
    explorations

    Famous Historical Relief


    Lorenzo Ghiberti (Italian, 13781455). Creation of Adam and Eve,
    ca. 1435. East Doors, Baptistery
    of San Giovanni. Florence, Italy
    Bronze relief
    This is one of the panels from the
    doors of the Baptistery known as
    the Gates of Paradise

    Gates of Paradise

    Ghiberti was an Italian artist of the


    Early Renaissance best known as the
    creator of the bronze doors of the
    Florence Baptistery. These doors were
    called by Michelangelo Gates of
    Paradise

    How do Bronze doors- relate to


    clay?
    The potential of using clay to reproduce
    devotional images was first recognized by two
    of the leading sculptors in early 15th-century
    Florence. Lorenzo Ghiberti ran a large
    workshop while making bronze doors for the
    Florence Baptistery. He trained most of the
    leading sculptors, and the young Donatello,
    who became the most influential sculptor of
    the period, also spent time there.

    How do Bronze doors- relate to


    clay?
    The use of clay was
    central to the
    production of
    bronzes and Ghiberti
    recognized its
    versatility. Clay could
    be molded to
    replicate images
    which were then
    fired, painted and
    gilded later in bronze.
