What is an example of a bas-relief?
2 Answers
A bas-relief is a carving or sculpture crafted in such a way that the artwork is barely protruding from the background piece. Donatello's Pazzi Madonna is an excellent example of a bas-relief sculpture. You’ll find a variety of bas-relief pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

A famous example of a bas-relief are the Assyrian Lion Hunt reliefs which are housed in the British Museum. Bas-reliefs tend to have less protrusion than other types of relief carving. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bas-reliefs from some of the world’s top art dealers.
