Draped Reclining Figure, 1952–53 "successfully added the contours of natural forms as well as a distinct hint of classicism to the repose of his figures, yet preserved that sense of immutability conveyed by the Mexican Chacmool figures that had so profoundly influenced the younger artist." Draped Reclining Figure, 1952–53 Draped Reclining Figure, 1952–53 is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore. The sculpture, catalogued as "LH 336", was cast in an edition of four (or "3+1"; one being retained by the artist). The artist's copy was given to the Henry Moore Foundation and is on display in their sculpture garden around his old house at
Bronze and brass ornamental work of the Emperor Maximilian I, with its 28 bronze statues of more than life size. Large fountains in which bronze was freely employed were set up, such as those at Munich and Augsburg. The tendency was to use this metal for large works of an architectural or sculpturesque nature; while at the same time smaller objects were produced for domestic purposes. By the 12th century the Italian craftsmen had developed a style of their own, as may be seen in the bronze doors of Saint Zeno, Verona (which are made of hammered and not cast bronze), Ravello, Trani and Monreale.
