Bronze

Bronze

Durable yet flexible, bronze has a long history of applications in a wide variety of objects, from weapons and armour to vessels and musical instruments. As an artistic medium, bronze was extensively employed in sculptures by artists and artisans from India, China, Egypt and Greece since ancient times. Some of the most famous contemporary bronze artworks are attributed to the French sculptor, Auguste Rodin, who lived from 1840 to 1917. With its tractability that allows for great details and sophisticated artistry, the production of bronze artworks has continued to the present, notably to exude nobility and luxury.
