A carved panel where the figures project with a great deal of depth is commonly referred to as a bas-relief.
What does bas-relief means?
In art, bas-relief is a sculptural technique in which the figures or design elements are carved or molded into a flat surface but they appear to stand out with a significant degree of depth and three-dimensionality.
This effect is achieved by carefully shaping and carving the figures so that they gradually emerge from the background. This helps to create a sense of volume and realism. Bas-relief are being found in ancient civilizations, classical art and even in modern sculpture and architecture.
It is an artistic technique that allows artists to create visually striking and tactile compositions while maintaining a connection to the flat surface of the panel or wall.
