- Bas-relief sculpture is stone sculpture made by chipping away at a slab of rock to make a picture that stands out. It is also called low relief sculpture (bas being the French for 'low') and is contrasted with high relief sculpture where the image stands out further from the surface. The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and many others have used bas-relief. About.com - by Enrique Cavalitto

- Definition(s)
- Bei einem Relief handelt es sich um eine Darstellung, die sich plastisch vom Hintergrund abhebt. Je nachdem, wie stark die Figuren aus der Grundfläche herausragen, spricht man von einem Flachrelief (auch Basrelief), Halbrelief oder einem Hochrelief.
Das Relief steht als Kunstform zwischen der Plastik und der Malerei. Als Material werden neben Stein auch Holz, Elfenbein und Metall verwendet. Eine Hochblüte erlebte das Relief in der hellenistischen und römischen Kunst als Verzierung auf Tempeln und Grabstelen. Eine Sonderform ist das versenkte Relief, das nur in der altägyptischen Kunst zu finden ist, hier werden die Figuren als „Hohlform“ in die Grundfläche hineingearbeitet.
