Definiția și Sensul lui "bas-relief"

What is "bas-relief"?

Bas-relief is a sculpting technique where the image is raised slightly from the background surface. The design is carved or molded so that it stands out in low relief, meaning the details are only slightly raised above the flat surface. This method creates a three-dimensional effect while keeping the overall piece relatively thin. Bas-relief is commonly used in decorative art, such as on coins, plaques, and architectural elements.
