Marseille. La Villa Méditerranée, à l'architecture en porte-à-faux, qui abrite la réplique de la Grotte Cosquer : sur la 2ème, un Lionceau des cavernes devant une Saïga (avec à droite, un Cerf et un Bouquetin); sur la 4, je suis devant un Mégacéros (reconstitué, évidemment !) puis un Cheval de Prjevalski. Sur la dernière, le "Cro-Magnon", le bateau bien nommé d'Henri Cosquer

The Cosquer cave, located near Marseille, France is a submerged cave system, accessible through a 175 m long tunnel situated 37 m under sea level. Discovered in 1985 by diver Henri Cosquer, the cave contains hundreds of engravings and parietal paintings dating from two different paleolithic occupations, one around 27 000 BP and the next around 19 000 BP. During the Paleolithic, sea level was 100 m below the cave entrance and the shore of the Mediterranean was several kilometers south.

Cosquer cave

The Cosquer cave is located near Marseille, France and was rediscovered by accident in 1985 by a scubadiver named Henri Cosquer. As you might have guessed, the cave was named after the discoverer. The entrance of the cave itself lies about 35/37 meters below sealevel which follows a 150 meters long slope up before reaching a huge chamber with perfectly conserved cave art.

Despite the cave being discovered in 1985, the paintings itself were only mentioned in 1991 after a diving disaster that took the lives of three divers in the cave, they died after they got lost.

The discovery of the art inside the cave was quite significant. No other paleolithic art has been discovered before in the region of Marseille and the fact that this cave's entrance is located under water can provide us with an answer. It is very likely that other similar caves in the region have been completely flooded after sea levels rose during the end of the last cold period of our ice age, this same rise of the sealevel also took Doggerland back into the seas.

The big chamber inside the cave consists of several images of animals. A total of 150 pieces of cave art have been discovered, 65 of which are hand stencils and other motifs/symbols. Most of the animals are quite familiar in other prehistoric caves such as bisons, horses and ibexes but this cave features more marine animals than other European sites. The cave is located right next to the sea so it makes sense that the art inside this cave represents more sea life than art inside caves further removed from the sea such as Chauvet.

Radiocarbon dating has dated the art inside this cave in two different time periods, 27,000 years ago and 19,000 years ago. In total, 177 animals are depicted in this cave belonging to eleven different species. There is also a rare depiction of a therianthrope (therian is Greek for wild beast and anthropos is Greek for human, these are half man/half beast beings) a human with a seal's head.

Unfortunately some of the submerged parts of the caves most likely contained cave art as well but these paintings have long disappeared thanks to the salty water and algae. What makes this cave so exceptional is the presence of marine animal paintings and tools to create these paintings such as a shell which still contains coal and a piece of calcite plague which once served as a lamp.

Just like all other cave art found in Europe, the purpose behind these paintings is still unknown (despite several theories existing, I might write about them later). Many of these caves, including the Cosquer cave, are hard to reach places full with danger. Our earliest European ancestors risked their lives creating art in these dark spots underground. What is even more stunning is that several handprints made by children have been discovered as well. This means that children were also exploring these caves but we might never know why.

La Grotte Cosquer es una cueva submarina, con pinturas prehistóricas del Paleolítico, en Marsella, cerca del cabo Morgiou. Su entrada está a 37 m por debajo del nivel del mar. La gruta tiene más de 200 figuras parietales. Henri Cosquer la encontró en 1985

En 1985 Henri Cosquer era un submarinista experto acostumbrado a bucear en las aguas de la costa marsellesa. En varias ocasiones, mientras exploraba los acantilados cercanos al cabo Morgiou se había fijado en una hendidura oscura que se abría en la pared de roca, a unos 37 metros de profundidad, que finalmente…

I don't think that Erich Koehler (who was an excellent Romanist) is of any use here. I only found the name of the author of the work I was looking for in the text. I had a bullfight there as part of a group, but I have to say that I found it disgusting. Then young bullfighters who were still in training were released on the bulls. They were sometimes very clumsy and the whole thing was a tough, quite bloody massacre in which the animals could only be sorry.

This shakes the anthropocentric perspective model of the Renaissance. The body, now in free-floating motion, is no longer the fixed point that determines the perception of space. The view from above blurs the surface relief, blurring the mountain and valley. The earth is increasingly changing to a flat surface on which familiar reference points can hardly be identified. It was also a good lesson in the cultural diversity and wealth of humanity, in the dignity and ingenuity of the African spirit, a lesson given in a huge city that was prevented from doing so by the power of history Establish exhibitions on African art.

In the event of a collision with the picture hunters, they have the choice of working with them and having their picture taken or not. In the latter case, your reactions range from polite rejection to aggressive resistance. I congratulate Pachulke and Clélia on finding the solution and posting elegant allusions. I meant the city of Antibes, to which an anagram could be Bastien. The Camargue is home to several families of musicians, for example the Reyes and the Baliardo.

As I said, the price in BEF was not a quantity indicator for me at the time. In addition to sketches, drawings and a watercolor, his work on this motif produced four important oil paintings. After an early sketch that van Gogh had sent to his friend Émile Bernard (JH 1370 in B2), he had started a (probably first) painting, which, however, failed and was only preserved as a fragment. It only shows the lovers, a topic that the artist (probably last) took up again in a reed drawing of the bridge. Thank you, Isabelle, for your impressive contribution to the Provencal flora.

While the nave, tower and facade were built in the Romanesque style, the Gothic choir was only created. The main portal with its tympanum (Christ as world judge), which was blinded to the west facade around 1190, is considered to be the main work of the Provençal sculpture of High Romanesque.

Here is Henri Cosquer, professional diver, discoverer of the cave, and official badass.  He found a small opening in the underwater cliff face in 1985 and swam into the narrow passageway without any idea of where it would end up, going back several more times before finally reaching the cave a few years later.  He got lucky; three other divers died in the passageway while trying to get to the cave in 1991.  It's now closed to the public to protect both the art and unwary visitors.
