COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
This reliefA sculptural work in which all or part projects from the flat surface. There are three basic forms: low relief (bas-relief, basso rilievo), in which figures project less than half their depth from the background; medium relief (mezzo-rilievo), in which figures are seen half round; and high relief (alto rilievo), in which figures are almost detached from their background. is an excellent example of the strict Neoclassicsm, the dominant style in the first quarter of the 19th century.
