Relief for a chapel in Backnang, Germany

In October of last year I received notice that an organization in Backnang, Germany was interested in creating a relief sculpture in marble. An original sculpture had been lost many years ago and someone found a picture of this in the archives of the chapel that held the sculpture. I was asked to use the original image and create a sculpture. This sculpture was created by an artist name Schnabel around 1884.

This blog is a record of the different processes involved in the creation of this artwork.

Here you see the black and white image enlarged to the desired size.
