Bronze sculpture has been a medium of artistic expression for millennia, with some commissions standing out as pivotal in art history. Among the most significant is the *Charioteer of Delphi* (478 BC), a stunning example of ancient Greek bronze work celebrating athletic victory. The *Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius* (175 AD) set a standard for imperial Roman monuments, while Donatello's *David* (1440s) marked the rebirth of bronze sculpture in the Renaissance.

Auguste Rodin’s *The Thinker* (1902) became a global symbol of philosophy, and *The Statue of Liberty* (1886), with its hammered copper skin over a steel frame, redefined monumental public art. Modern commissions like *The Charging Bull* (1989) in Wall Street demonstrate bronze’s enduring power to capture cultural moments. These works not only showcase technical mastery but also reflect the societies that commissioned them, leaving an indelible mark on human history.
