bronze sculpture

Cast metal artwork

Bronze sculpture is three-dimensional artwork cast in bronze, an alloy of copper and tin prized for its durability and ability to capture fine detail.

The lost-wax casting method has dominated the art form since antiquity.

Bronze sculptures range from small figurines to monumental public works: The bronze sculptures in the park commemorate fallen soldiers.
