===Modern works=== The largest known [[sculpture]] created with this technique is the [[Statue of Liberty]], properly ''Liberté éclairant le monde'', ("Liberty Enlightening The World"), in [[Upper New York Bay]]. The statue was formed by [[copper]] repoussé in sections using wooden structures to shape each piece during the hammering process. <gallery> File:Rawnsley shield.jpg|Arts and Crafts repousse shield made by [[Keswick School of Industrial Art]], UK, 1895 File:Repujado- caballo griego alestilo del período geométrico, por el artista mexicano Manolo Vega, 2011.jpg|Repoussè on tin sheet – "Greek horse" by Mexican artist Manolo Vega, 2011 File:Statueofliberty.jpg|The Statue of Liberty, New York (NY) File:Construction of the Statue2.jpg|Construction of The Statue of Liberty </gallery>
