Almost all the greatest sculptors have used bronze casting at some point in their careers, including famous Greek sculptors Phidias, Renaissance artists like Donatello and Benvenuto Cellini, as well as Auguste Rodin. Twentieth century sculptors who have excelled in bronze like Brancusi and Alexander Archipenko to name but a few. As to the production process of bronze carving, it is divided into forged Bronze sculpture and bronze casting sculpture. Today we will explain the difference between forged Bronze sculpture and cast Bronze sculpture.

1. Fabrication process

When fabricating the forged Bronze sculpture, the materials plates are placed on the mold prepared in advance at high temperature for continuous forging, so that the pattern on the mold is presented onto plate, forming the copper carving. Compared with the copper casting process, this fabrication process takes a certain amount of time to cast, so its cost is higher.

2. Quality

There is no big difference as to the quality of the copper carvings made by the two different fabrication processes. Well maintenance shall keep the works long service life.

3. Values

From the perspective of the Bronze sculpture works in history, the forged Bronze sculpture is more favored by people for technique skills. The hard the fabrication process, the values higher for that. Both of them have high artistic values.

No matter what kind of Bronze sculpture works, the artistic effect of Bronze sculpture is breathtaking and thought-provoking. These sculptures have very strong artistic taste, and the artistic value they produce is unsurpassable for human appreciation. The appreciation of art is of high grade. Now city bronze sculputures are placed on high taste areas for humans’ closer study of national culture, fully understand the essence of national culture and further create more valuable and classic permanent significance of urban sculpture.
