The difference between furniture panels in large relief and small relief

The differences between large reliefs and small reliefs of furniture panels are as follows:

1. The depth of the knife.

The large relief is also called high relief, which is a kind of plane engraving with a deeper knife, and the large relief is relatively small due to the higher and thicker position, and the degree of compression of the shape is smaller, so its spatial structure and shaping characteristics are closer to the round carving, and even some of the local treatment completely adopts the treatment of the round carving.

Small relief is also called bas-relief, bas-relief is a relief technique corresponding to high relief, is a kind of shallower plane engraving.

2. Different uses.

The small relief has a low starting position and a large compression of the shape, that is to say, unlike the large relief with the carved object clearly protruding from the surface and having a strong undulating stem and spatial depth, the pattern carved by it is only slightly protruding from the bottom surface, which looks more decorative and occupies less area.

3. Different identification methods.

The carving of bas-relief is relatively shallow, and the intersecting between the layers is relatively small, and the depth is generally not more than 2 mm; If the depth is deeper, reaching 2-5 mm, and the level changes more, it is called medium relief. Medium reliefs also sometimes determine the depth of the carving based on the thickness of the bore wall.

Bas-relief attaches great importance to the outline of the line, and strengthens the three-dimensional sense of space by combining lines and surfaces, and it also relies on the perspective and illusion techniques in the painting to create a relatively abstract compressed space, showing the three-dimensional sense of space of the object, which is closer to painting than high relief. These qualities make the bas-relief more suitable for attachment to a flat carrier.

Its painterly lines and multi-point cutting flat composition make the bas-relief well express the peaceful mood and romantic tenderness of the subject matter, with the softness and gentleness of light music and the sweet romance of lyric poetry, which is more suitable for artistic images full of rhythm and rhyme.

What is even more rare is that the bas-relief can accurately express the inner emotions of the person or animal with complex human movements.

Large reliefs and small reliefs, which can be understood as deep reliefs and bas-reliefs.

Deep relief is also called high relief, refers to the carved pattern pattern high convex bottom surface of the carving, mostly seen in the pen holder, incense tube, Shoushan stone carving also uses high relief. High relief can also be understood as a kind of deep plane carving, broadly speaking, it is also a deep relief or deep openwork.

Bas-relief is a relief technique corresponding to high relief, and the carved patterns and patterns are shallowly protruding from the bottom surface, among which the ground-to-ceiling yang text and the green should belong to this category.
