What is a bronze sculpture?
A bronze sculpture is a three-dimensional artwork which is created by pouring metal bronze into a mould which is designed by an artist. This is then left to set and solidify, turning the liquid into a perfectly sculpted piece which can stand alone or on a dedicated stand. Bronze is made of an alloy of copper and tin, the two metals are heated together and then cooled. This process is referred to as casting, which is a specialist sculpting process and differs from chiselling and carving which is a method that is often used for marble sculptures or ceramics. The cast process means that bronze sculptures can achieve an intricate level of detail and consistency, making for a stunning and highly dynamic piece that will last a lifetime.
Bronze sculptures are sought after due to their high level of detail and ornate, unique colour profile which lends a striking effect to any given environment.
Bronze sculptures stretch a wide range of time periods from ancient Greek and Roman to baroque, mannerist, neoclassical and 19th Century onwards. You will also be able to locate modern bronze sculptures on the market, so with the right base you have access to all different variations of bronze sculptures touching every corner of both ancient and modern history.
