sculpturen.

Brit.

/ˈskʌlptʃə/, U.S.

/ˈskəlptʃər/

Forms: Also 1500s sculture.

Etymology: < Latin sculptūra, < sculpĕre to carve, engrave, sculpture. Compare French sculpture (15–16th cent.; an older synonym was sculpeüre, < sculper to ‘sculp’), Spanish escultura, Portuguese esculptura, Italian scultura (whence the 16th cent. English form sculture).

a. Originally, the process or art of carving or engraving a hard material so as to produce designs or figures in relief, in intaglio, or in the round. In modern use, that branch of fine art which is concerned with the production of figures in the round or in relief, either by carving, by fashioning some plastic substance, or by making a mould for casting in metal; the practice of this art.Now chiefly used with reference to work in stone (esp. marble) or bronze (similar work in wood, ivory, etc. being spoken of as carving), and to the production of figures of considerable size. Thus to apply the term, e.g. to die-sinking or to stone-carving on a small scale would now be regarded as a transferred use.
