Our Lady of Lourdes Bronze Statue 80 cm for OUTDOORS

Bronze Statue of Our Lady of Lourdes 80 cm for OUTDOORS.
Bronze statue of fine quality made by an Italian company specializing in the manufacture of bronze and operating in the field of funeral items.The sculptural technique used for the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes is that of lost wax casting, known and used since ancient times.With this process the molten metal is poured into a cavity left free by a model previously made in detail in wax on a clay core. The model is covered with a further layer of refractory material until it has a fairly consistent shape. During the preparatory phase, the casting and breathing holes are created and those through which the wax, subjected to heat, will escape. When the bronze is cooled, the sculpture is freed from the casting cast and from the network of fusion channels, cleaned and finally finished and polished.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) tends to become dark: this characteristic represents the beauty of bronze, which with the advancement of time gives this product connotations precious and unique.
