A relief is when artist uses a flat background to create three dimensional forms as if a painting and it has 3 categories such as low relief,high relief and sunken relief. Besides, relief sculpturing, has a distinguished history dating back over 20,000 years in Eastern and Western cultures. Alto-relievo (high relief) approaches three dimensions while bas-relief (low relief) at times is more akin to two-dimensional drawing.
