The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: bronze sculpture @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) BRONZE SCULPTURE [bronze sculpture] Bronze is ideal for casting art works; it flows into all crevices of a mold, thus perfectly reproducing every detail of the most delicately modeled sculpture. The Egyptians used bronze, cast and hammered, for utensils, armor, and statuary far in advance of the Bronze Age in Europe. During the Renaissance, Italian sculptors wrought magnificent bronzes of many sorts, outstanding among which are Ghiberti's doors to the baptistery of Florence and the sculptures of Donatello, Verrocchio, Giovanni Bologna, Pollaiuolo, and Cellini. www.highbeam.com /library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1E1:bronzesc&refid=ip_encyclopedia_hf   (313 words)

Bronze sculpture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bronze is the most popular metal for cast metal sculptures; a cast-metal sculpture of bronze is often called a bronze. Common bronze alloys often have the unusual and very desirable property of expanding slightly just before they set, thus filling the finest details of a mold. The manufacture of bronzes is highly skilled work, and a number of distinct casting processes may be employed, including lost-wax casting (and its modern-day spin-off ceramic shell casting), sandcasting and centrifugal casting. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bronze_sculpture   (446 words)

bronze (sculpture) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about bronze (sculpture) An alloy of copper and tin, bronze is harder than copper and, therefore, more suitable for casting. Ancient bronzes develop a patina, a thin green coating caused by oxidation, usually after exposure to air. When bronze is gilded (covered with gold), it is often described as ormolu, although this term strictly refers to a gold-coloured alloy of bronze, zinc, and tin. encyclopedia.farlex.com /bronze+(sculpture)   (165 words)

The Four Winds Collection - The Lost Wax Bronze Process Thus, realizing the time needed to create a single piece of bronze, the collector gains a greater appreciation for the value of his bronze, whether it is one of a kind or a recast of a noted collectible artist. The chased bronze is now treated with chemicals and heat to give it the chosen color according to the artist's specifications. The patina is sealed under a wax coating and becomes a permanent part of the sculpture. www.classicbronze.com /process.html   (499 words)

The Lost Wax Bronze Casting Sculpture Process The sculptures are attached to this funnel by "welding" wax sticks (sprues) to both the sculpture and the funnel. Sculptures are generally placed close to the bottom of the funnel (since the bronze starts to cool the second it hits the funnel). Thicker sprues are joined to the sculpture where the bronze will enter (the bottom), while thinner sprues (vents) are joined at the top edges of the sculpture and reach to the top plane of the funnel. www.borsheimarts.com /lessons/casting.htm   (1024 words)

In the case of a monumental sculpture or any sculpture cast in more than one piece, the sections are assembled at this time. www.collectorsguide.com /fa/fa023.shtml   (933 words)
