What is the bas-relief?

 

The definition of Bas-relief is a bronze photographic Plaque with shallower photographic relief.

 

The bas-relief begins with a photograph, which is replicated in a sand or clay mold. After the mold is approved, the bronze is cast and then polished by hand and the low relief bronze is finished. Special finishing chemicals are used to bring out details and shadows within the cast photograph.

Chemical etching sometimes referred to as photoengraving, bronze etching or chemical milling is an ancient process that allows more intricate artwork or photographs to be transferred to brass, bronze, copper, or stainless steel.

Why choose a bas-relief for the plaque?

Bas-relief is a type of relief that has less detail than a photographic relief Plaque, but results in a permanent, durable, and timeless Plaque that is highly resistant to fading. The portrait or image is made of solid cast bronze. Bas-reliefs usually leave a large part of the base material behind the art. The lower depth of the artwork allows it to be viewed from many different angles without distorting or losing the perspective of the photographic Plaque. A bas-relief plaque is essentially a thin sculpture from the original photograph, cast (usually) in bronze.

 

What is chemical etching?

No mechanical force or heat is used during the etching process, resulting in a Plaque that is stronger than its cast, precision-machined, or etched counterparts. Chemical etching also produces no waste and is an economically safe way to produce Plaques.

 

Engraving can also be done on extremely fine bronzes. Our manufacturer, Gemini, can produce Plaques up to 1/16 "thick.
