bronze sculptures

Metal art pieces

Bronze sculptures are three-dimensional artworks cast in bronze, an alloy of copper and tin prized for its durability and rich patina.

The term covers everything from ancient Greek statues to modern public monuments.

Bronze casting allows fine detail and has been a preferred medium for figurative sculpture for millennia: The museum's collection includes bronze sculptures from the Renaissance.
