Relief sculpture is a process in which patterns have been formed in a variety of depths from superficial to deep surfaces. Surface is a point of reference to relief sculpture allowing us to use illusional perception of two dimensional pictorialness and a reality of three dimensional sculpture in combination. Relief sculpture can be divided into such forms as cutting (coelanaglyphic) low, middle and high reliefs considering recesses and protrusions from surface into depthsRelief sculpture has been universally ubiquitous in every period of time. Dimension of deepness from cutting relief from freestanding sculpture has been providing artists with a wide range of practices for centuries on. Figurative examples of this form of art create an important field of experience concerning illusional and realistic dimensions of deepness in terms of traditional sculpturing and artistic education.In this paper, the basic features of figurative sculpture relief, its types and quality in terms of sculpture are be examined through significant examples until 20th century
