Wax figure is a kind of surrealist sculpture art, which is called "stereoscopic photography". Wax figure art is closer to the original form of characters than ordinary sculpture, and the characters it creates are often vivid, with strong ornamental value and unique function of restoring historical figures.

Wax art was introduced into China from abroad in 1980s.

Origin:

The wax figure has gone through a long historical process from a single wax figure to the wax figure art of today's era. According to historical records, as early as the Babylonian period in Cuba, people mastered the wax figure technology. In the 4th century BC, Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia, had a wax figure made for him. In ancient Egypt, wax figures were placed in graves at funerals.

In ancient Greece, wax figures were often displayed in religious ceremonies. At the mask festival in ancient Rome, aristocratic families also showed masks made of wax by their ancestors or attended funerals. In the Middle Ages, wax figures were used in witchcraft in Europe, and there were already wax figures made for believers in churches. Wax masks were used to commemorate emperors and great men, such as the icon in the church of Anuasta in Florence, Italy, and became the embodiment of the late emperor and great men.

During the Renaissance, bronze badges were made by lost wax method. Antonio Abbondio was a famous wax figure artist at that time.
