While that is true, it is an especially valuable asset in the art world as it not only offers a durable and highly manipulable material, but also a way to create different tools that can be used to help produce a wide range of works. This durable metal is renowned for its resilience and its luster, and eventually, the weathered effects that the piece gains. As it ages, especially in the elements, the polished tone of the metal deepens to a gorgeous brown and gains green patina and even red hues throughout. Moreover, it offers sculptors, especially, a way to create sculptural works in a way that was never before possible, with results that are just as amazing. Unlike natural stone such as marble, which several points of support, bronze is very strong and can have one small area of support to sustain an entire piece. The result is breathtaking sculptures that seem to defy the laws of gravity. With that said, it is no wonder that this long-time trade has carried over through the centuries, and continues to be a practice that is still very popular today. Bronze statues offer a wonderful option to the appearance of pieces in stone, or any other medium for that matter. A bronze sculpture can add a graceful touch of elegance to any setting, such as to adorn church yards or courtyards of commercial buildings. The statues offered here within feature traditional designs, such as heavenly angels, saints, and even nature inspired pieces such as doves in flight or resting peacefully on a exquisitely detailed branch. Even featured is a master study of the famous Pieta by Michelangelo. While many use these beautiful works of art to adorn buildings, they also add a regal air to personal areas, such as a home garden or even to the gravesite of a loved one. Families often find great comfort in knowing that a beautiful angel is perpetually watching over the final resting place of their loved one, guarding the area for all eternity. The fact that the bronze helps the sculpture not only withstand the elements, but also look more gorgeous over time makes a bronze statue, perhaps, the ideal piece to stand sentry over such a solemn and important area. Since the early years of our history, bronze has produced a very valuable material that can, and was, applied to many fields, such a to create different and more durable tools, and even to produce kitchenware and other household items, just to name a few. This only goes to show the importance that this wonderful metal has played in the development of our world. It is only fitting that bronze be used to create exquisite works of art that truly help appreciate the value of this elegant metal. |
