Bas relief has existed in all civilizations creating stone sculpture from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China, to classical, Middle Ages, and Renaissance periods in Europe.
The Elgin marbles (from the Parthenon of Athens, Greece) are a prime example of this form of art, and Stone Mountain is the world's largest bas-relief.
