sculpture in which the figures project from a background plane. Reliefs are classified by the degree of projection.
Carved or molded ornament that projects from a flat surface.
the portion of a coin's design which is raised above the smooth surface or field
The projection of figures and forms from a flat surface, so that they stand partly free. BAS-RELIEF: Sculpture in which forms are carved or modeled on a flat surface so that they project slightly from the background (for example, Motion in Nature). HIGH RELIEF: Sculpture in which forms are carved or modeled on a flat surface so that they project greatly from the back surface. High reliefs have deep undercuts behind some figures. The figures may be nearly free-standing (for example, Veterans Memorial Building Eagle). INCISED RELIEF: Sculpture in which forms are carved or modeled on a flat surface so that they are recessed below the flat, planar surface (for example, Veterans Memorial Building Pylons).
The apparent or actual (impasto, collage) projection of three-dimensional forms.
sculpture in which figures stand out from, but are attached to the background surface
The image is printed from the raised portions of a carved, etched, or cast block or other rigid material. The printing surface stands in relief above the rest of the block.
Decoration that projects out from the surrounding surface. The terms bas, medium and high relief refer to the depth of the decoration.
A type of sculpture in which the stone, wood or other material is cut away from around the figures and forms in the composition so that, from the viewer's vantage point, the composition seems to stand out from a flat plane of material in the background without being separate from it.
the design of a stamp raised up (as opposed to recessed) on a transfer roll.
The projection of art from a flat surface. The shortened form of " bas-relief."
The normal raised lettering or design on a coin. Such a design is also known as bas-relief. The opposite is known as incuse, intaglio or sunken lettering/design.
Sculpture that projects from a flat surface.
A type of sculpture in which the subject is carved or modeled from a flat background plane–not completely three-dimensional. Characterized by the projection of the relief– bas, mezzo and alto (low, medium, and high).

Carved ornament projecting above s cutaway background plane. The ornament or figure can be slightly raised (bas-relief or low-relief), half projection (mezzo-relief), high- (or alto-) relief.
any work in which the figures project from a background. Reliefs are classified by the degree of projection 2. High relief: relief carved deeply enough to suggest parts are almost detached from the surrounding support 3. Low relief: figures that project less than half of their true depth from the background.

is a mode of sculpture where the forms are attached to a background surface, either entirely or partially. Sometimes the depth is indicated with perspective, resulting in a plaque-like sculpture with some of the characteristics of a drawing or painting.
A method of printing ink on paper, using type or images that rise above the surface of the printing plate.
One of four traditional categories of printing. Ink is transferred to paper from raised surface of a matrix.
Respite for Elder Living in Everyday Families is a project where volunteers provide in-home respite as an expansion of services available through other programs. RELIEF provide family caregivers evening and weekend respite, increasing their ability to continue caring for a homebound elder without becoming ill themselves.
A raised decoration that protrudes out from the remaining surface of an object.
opposite of incuse, the part of a coin's design that is raised above the surface.
1. Sculpture in which figures or other images are attached to a flat background but project out from it to some degree (bas-relief, haut-relief). 2. A printmaking technique in which portions of a block meant to be printed are raised above the surface.
In sculpture, figures projecting from a background of which they are part. The degree of relief is designated high, low (bas), sunken (hollow) or intaglio. In the last, the backgrounds are not cut back, and the points in the highest relief are level with the original surface of the material being carved. See also repousse.
A sculpture form in which elements project out of the background of the work.
Carving effected without undercutting any of the surface; either sunk, with figures cut out of the stone; or raised, with background cut away.
Raised, sculptural ornamentation.
1. Sculptural elements which can not be viewed from all sides, but are instead engaged in the surface of the material from which they were carved. 2. The amount of projection and recession of the material or elements present in a carved work.
Relief, in sculpture, is a three-dimensional projection from a flat background. In alto-relievo, or high relief, the protrusion is great; basso-relievo, or bas-relief, protrudes only slightly; and mezzo-relievo is intermediate between the two. Ancient Egyptians and Etruscans also used cavo relievo, intaglio, or sunken relief, in which the design is incised deeper than the background. High relief, although also used in ancient times, reached its climax in the baroque period. Bas-relief is commonly employed on coins and on medals.
The height of the devices of a particular coin design, expressed in relation to the fields. etoned A term used to describe a coin that has been dipped or cleaned and then has reacquired color, whether naturally or artificially.
Any sculptural ornamentation raised above its surface or background.
A term, most typically applied to sculpture, describing a surface projecting from a background surface, rather than freely standing. Relief etching is achieved by drawing a design in acid-resisting varnish on a plate; thereafter, the plate is immersed in acid, eating away the unprotected parts, so the design stands in relief. Woodcut blocks also employ relief printing.
Letterpress, flexography and rubber stamps are all examples of relief printing. Type and images sit above the surface of the printing plate. The relief portion is inked, and paper is pressed against it to reproduce everything that sits above the surface.
Printing method using a raised image, e.g. letterpress or flexography.
A forms which stand out from the background RGB An system for representing the color spectrum using red, green and blue. Used in computer monitor or television.
the protrusion of figures or shapes from a background.
The projection of art from a flat surface. Relief images can be created in a number of ways, from cut-outs to sandblasting.
This term refers to a class of printmaking in which the printing surface stands in relief to the rest of the block which has been cut away. Ink is applied to the surface of the block which is then applied with vertical pressure to the paper. Woodcut, linocut and wood-engraving are the most important forms of relief printing.
Raised or depressed ornamentation.
A technique in which the portions of a plate intended to print are raised above the surface, as woodcut, linocut, etc.
Any sculptural artwork in which forms or figures project from a background that forms a surface plane.
the part of a coin's design that is raised above the surface, opposite of incuse.
Any part of a coin design that is raised above the coin's surface is said to be in relief. The opposite of relief is incuse.
The projection of a figure or design from the BACKGROUND on which it is modeled or carved.
Raised parts of the obverse and reverse of coins and medals, the opposite of incuse.
Sculpture with details projecting outward from a flat background.
A sculptural design created so that all or part of it projects from a flat surface. Can refer to the illusion of three dimensions in a painting. In printing, an overall term for images produced from ink that lies on top of raised surfaces; the opposite of intaglio.
Figures or other shapes that project from a flat surface. The three types of reliefs are low (bas), high, and incised.
A raised, three dimensional effect that is usually achieved by stamping or carving (as in a cameo).
the part of the design that is raised from the surface of the coin.
Any part of a coin's design that is raised above the coin's surface. When the design has been impressed below the coin's surface, it is said to be incuse.
Degree to which the devices on a coin protrude outward from the fields. As a general practice, the higher the relief, the more blows from the hub necessary to make a working die - and the more blows necessary to bring up the design on the finished coin or medal.
The projection of an image or form from its background. In painting or drawing, the apparent projection of parts conveying the illusion of three dimensions; in printing, any process in which ink impressions are produced from the high areas of a prepared printing block.
Raised ornament or sculpture in which the carving is raised or above the background. Various styles are characterized by high or low relief carving.
The term used to describe a raised surface cut away by acid or tools. The non-printing areas are removed and the riased surface forms the image.
ornament in relief. The ornament or figure can be slightly, half, or greatly projected.
All printing processes in which the non-printing areas of the block or plate are carved, engraved or etched away. Inks are applied onto the projected surface and transferred onto the paper. The reverse process is known as intaglio printing.
A kind of decoration that protrudes from the surface, like a cameo.
Raised, sculptural carving elements.
A method for printing ink on paper, using type of images that rise above the surface of the printing plate. Ink sits on top of these raised surfaces, and as the paper is pressed onto them it picks up ink. Letterpress, flexography, and rubber stamps all use relief plates. In letterpress, intense pressure can cause images to be slightly debossed or depressed below the surface of the paper.
Moldings and ornamentation projecting from the surface of a wall.
A relief is a sculptured artwork where a modeled form projects out from a flat background.
