As an art form, casting appeared many centuries ago. The melting of metals is a process that has greatly contributed not only to the improvement of life through the improvement of tools, but also to the development of culture, in particular sculpture and architecture.

How rude, devoid of grace today seem to us the museum exhibits found at the excavations of various cultures. However, often we see decorations and household items that belonged to people of the upper classes, if not to the ruling families. This suggests that both casting and chasing developed for quite a long time. Over the centuries, tools have been improved, new materials for casting molds have been mastered.

Today, artistic casting is quite well-established, a well-adjusted process. The most common casting is bronze, brass, lithium, cast iron, gold, silver. Precious metals are used in jewelry production, cast iron in industry, interior and exterior trim parts are made from brass, mural sculptors are most often fond of bronze casting.

Jewelry art is an extensive and interesting topic, which can be talked about a lot, but not here and not now, production casting is a little interesting process, let's stop our attention on bronze casting.

Bronze sculpture is back in fashion. Despite the fact that today we erect few monuments, democracy and glasnost have taken their toll, we have ceased to perpetuate personalities, monumental sculpture is being replaced by elegant products that adorn expensive offices and luxurious parks. Bronze sculpture is distinguished by clear sharp lines, which is why figurines of animals, athletically built sculptures of the human body, busts of ancient philosophers and thinkers are especially popular. Today you can find such skillfully made figurines with the smallest details transferred, which may well decorate the interior of the most demanding aesthetes.
