Let’s explore this together and discover why bronze art continues to inspire and amaze people worldwide.

 
Bronze art is an excellent way for people to express their creativity across different times and cultures. From sculptures that bring ancient myths to life to beautifully decorated vessels, bronze has always held a special place in the world of art. In ancient Greece, artists used bronze to create stunning figures and athletes, while in China’s Shang and Zhou dynasties, intricate designs on bronze vessels served both practical and decorative purposes. No matter where or when, artists have found inspiration and joy in working with bronze.
 
During the European Renaissance, talented artists such as Donatello, Verrocchio, and Michelangelo breathed new life into bronze, creating sculptures that still amaze us today. Later in the 20th century, renowned artists such as Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, and Henry Moore advanced bronze art in exciting new directions, experimenting with modern forms and ideas. Today, antique bronze pieces are treasured by collectors and museums, while contemporary artists continue to explore the possibilities of bronze, sometimes even utilising new technologies like 3D printing. Whether displayed in public spaces or private collections, bronze art connects us with creativity from the past and present.

HISTORY OF BRONZE ART SCULPTURE

The earliest known example of “Lost-wax” casting dates back nearly 7,000 years to the ancient history of Egyptian Pharaohs. This process involves hot metal being poured into an Investment mould of fired clay, shaped with the help of a wax model that is melted or “lost.”
