The great civilizations of the old world worked in bronze for art and weaponry. The first were the Greeks who were the first to scale their bronze figures up to life size. The ancient civilizations of China, Rome and Egypt, all knew the art of both ‘lost-wax bronze casting’ and section mould bronze casting.’ Making bronzes is a highly skilled art.

Bronze sculpture history is steeped in the practices of several ancient civilizations. This includes Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome. China’s Shang Dynasty is known for using the lost-wax casting technique and section moulding to create larger bronze sculpture statues. In ancient Asian cultures, bronze was often used to produce small votive statues and ritual vessels. The ancient Greeks were the first to produce full-sized figures. Western bronze sculpture statuary practices receded during medieval times when most architecture and sculptures were made using stone and wood. The Renaissance sparked an interest in the practice and saw a rise in the technology used to make replica bronze sculpture artworks. The Industrial Revolution further advanced these tools, allowing artists to create bronze sculptures in easy-to-produce editions.
