When the light is well chofen to make the nearefl parts or fi-

There are three kinds of degrees of Relievo, viz. alto, bafFo,
and demi-relievo.
Alto-relievo, haut Relief, or high Relievo, is when the figure
is formed after nature, and projects as much as the life.
Baffo Relievo, bafs Relief, or low Relievo, is when the wTork is
raifed but little from the ground, as in medals, and the frontif-
pieces of buildings; particularly the hiftories, fefloons, foliages,
and other ornaments of friezes.
Demi Relievo, is when one half of the figure rifes from the
plan, i. e. when the body of the figure feems cut in two ; and
one half of it is clapped upon the ground ; when in a bajlb Re-
lievo there are parts that ftand clear out, detached from the reft,
the work is called a demi-bafTo.
RELIGION, is reprefented, in painting, &c. as a woman
cloathed in a filver veil, with a garland or mantle of white, fire in
her left hand, in her right a book, and a crofs and elephant by
her.—Veiled, becaufe fhe has been always fecret; the crofs is
the victorious banner of true Religion ; the book is the fcripture ;
the elephant is an emblem of true Religion, he adoring the fun
and ftars.
