Relief (French le relief "elevation, that which is raised", from Latin relevare "to lift up") is a pictorial artistic form of representation that stands out plastically from the background, and thus stands as an independent art form between surface-based painting and spatially designed sculpture. According to the height of the sculptural elevations, one speaks of a bas-relief, a half-relief or a high relief. The Greco-Roman culture was a heyday of relief art. A special feature of ancient Egyptian art were the sunken reliefs, in which the depicted figures were worked into the material as hollow forms.
