Miles Tucker’s bronze sculpture, titled The Resurrection, uses the ancient lost wax casting process, to capture exceptionally fine details in metals to create extraordinary realism and detail

Artist Miles Tucker’s latest bronze sculpture, The Resurrection, uses the ancient lost wax casting process, which captures exceptionally fine details in metals. The process has been used since 3000 B.C. to visually capture the most cherished stories of religions and cultures throughout history. Tucker builds a mold around a sacrificial wax model, and after the mold investment is set, the wax is melted out and forms a cavity where the bronze flows in.

Even among sculptors using the lost wax casting process, Tucker’s bronze art is exceptionally detailed. To ensure the finest details transferred to the final product, the foundry where he does his work had to increase the temperatures at casting well beyond standard levels.

To make the Resurrection sculpture as widely available as possible, Tucker is offering it to churches, individuals, art dealers and museums with individual serial numbers. The sculptures are available in the round, three-dimensional, or in deep relief to hang on a wall or sit on a desktop.
