(Redirected from High relief)
'Alto-relievo' is translated from Latin as 'high-relief', a technique in Classical antiquity sculpture to reveal human or animal figures that project out from a solid tablet of marble or other material. At least one-half of the figure must be projecting from the surface, often appearing in a standing position.
In the illustration at right, the vertical tablet wall is used as a simple reinforcement for the sculpture, with no detail. Frequently the tablet is carved with decorations or detailed inscriptions.
All cultures and periods where large sculptures were created used this technique as one of their sculptural options. Seen in "monumental sculpture" and architecture from ancient times to present.
