The process of coating something with bronze or giving it a bronze-like appearance, or the bronze-colored coating itself.
From the verb 'bronze' (to coat with bronze or turn bronze-colored) plus the gerund suffix -ing. This came into English as metalworking techniques developed and the desire to give objects a bronze finish became common.
Artists have been bronzing sculptures for thousands of years, but modern bronzing techniques can preserve the exact texture of the original model—ancient sculptors would have been amazed at how we can capture every fingerprint now.
