Angel of God Bronze Statue 65 cm for OUTDOORS

Outdoor Statue of Angel of God, 66 cm.
Sculpture of excellent workmanship made by an Italian company estimated in bronze working and operating in the field of cemetery items.Funeral statue made through the lost wax casting. A complex technique that involves waxing the statue in all its details on a clay core. The wax is covered by a layer of refractory material, which creates the outer shape or hood, with pouring channels to let out both the wax and the fume vapors plus an opening for the introduction of the bronze. This block is fired (400-500 °). The wax melts out of the drains and leaves an empty space between the inner core and the outer form. In this cavity the liquid bronze is poured which, solidifying, takes the shape of the figure modeled in the wax. It is allowed to cool. The external shape is broken and finally the bronze statue emerges, which is subjected to the final phase of finishing, which consists in eliminating metal smears, smoothing the surface and engraving details.With this procedure, only unique specimens are obtained, given the ineluctable loss of the wax model and the clay coating.The statue can be exhibited both indoors and outdoors. The statue is colored with paints that allow it to resist even outside. Bronze, being a living material, over the years (if exposed to the outside elements) tends to become dark: this characteristic represents the beauty of bronze.
