Casts of Antiquity

Casts of antiquity are sculptures made by creating a mold of an original statue or artifact, then filling it with a material like bronze or plaster to produce a replica. This process allows artists to produce multiple copies of a work or preserve delicate originals. Historically, this technique was widely used in ancient Greece and Rome to replicate famous sculptures, making art accessible in various locations. The casts serve as valuable historical records, revealing styles, techniques, and cultural values of the past, while also enabling the conservation of original artworks.
