Stiacciato

Donatello's Saint George Freeing the Princess of 1417, the first known stiacciato relief

Stiacciato (Tuscan) or schiacciato (Italian for "pressed" or "flattened out") is a technique where a sculptor creates a very shallow relief sculpture with carving only millimetres deep.[1] The rilievo stiacciato is primarily associated with Donatello (1386–1466).
