Question

Define and describe the attributes of a high relief? Examine the relief sculpture above. Explain what attributes make it an example of a high relief.

Answer 1

High relief is the type of relief in which the object or figure stretches out of the background.  In high relief, the image stretches from the background to half of the material it is carved out from.

Further Explanation

In high relief, the sculpted parts are usually curved back into the background. One of the attributes of high relief is that the figures are completely or parts of it disengaged from the background.

A relief sculpture is a kind of sculpture in which an object is supported by background and usually on a surface.  Reliefs are categorized based on the height and how far the figures or object is from the background.

However, the other two main types of relief sculpture include:

• Low relief: in this form of relief, the sculpture project is raised slightly from the background surface. In other words, it has less projection from the background surface. A low relief can also be referred to as bas relief.
• Sunken relief: in sunken relief, the image is carved into a surface and the background is raised. The objects or figures are the sunken part. However, there are different examples of sunken relief that can be found in Egyptian tombs

Therefore, a high relief is the type of relief the figure stretches out of the background.
