Lascaux Caves

The Discovery of Lascaux Caves

Lascaux Caves, defined as the "Sistine Chapel" of Prehistory, emerged from the darkness of history in 1940 in the picturesque Dordogne region of France.

World Heritage: Lascaux in the UNESCO List

Recognized as the pinnacle of prehistoric pictorial expression, these caves have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage since 1979.

Iconographic Repertoire of Lascaux

Originating from the Upper Paleolithic, the captivating paintings, dating back to an estimated period between 13,000 and 15,000 B.C., feature an iconographic repertoire dominated by magnificent creatures, from the visceral power of bulls to the grace of horses, from majestic bison to imposing ibexes, some of which are now extinct.

Artistic Technique: Paintings Directly on Rock

The rock art of Lascaux is a testament to the technical skill of its creators, as the paintings are executed directly on the limestone rock without the use of plaster, challenging the usual definition of "fresco."

The Vibrant and Enduring Impact of Paintings

The permeable limestone rock and the surrounding humid environment favored the deep penetration of colored pigments, giving the works a vibrant and enduring impact.

The Mystery of the "Chinese Horse" of Lascaux

Particularly intriguing is the famous "Chinese horse" of Lascaux, outlined with a thick contour line obtained through the use of black charcoal. Details such as the fur emphasized by shaded strokes and the coat painted with ochre, red, and brown, interspersed with black stripes on the back, reveal an extraordinary technical mastery.

Dynamism and Realism: Details of Representations

Carefully observing the dynamic action depicted, with arrows coming onto the horse's back, we note the realistic rendering of the mane, painted with such skill as to mimic the horse's mane with shades of black. The figure of the horse, strategically placed on a rocky protrusion at the abdomen, is an eloquent example of the spatial and compositional awareness of the prehistoric artist, accentuating the abdomen in a suggestive manner.

Transcending Time: Lascaux's Timeless Legacy

Ultimately, the rock art of Lascaux transcends time, transporting us to an era when humanity communicated its world through primitive brushes but with timeless mastery.

EXTINCT

[pixoplanet]

It's September 12th. 🎨 On this day in 1940, Marcel Ravidat, an 18-year-old auto mechanic, took his dog, Robot, for a walk near his home in Montignac, France, and made one of the most stunning archaeological discoveries of all time. During the walk, Robot ran into the entrance of a hole created by a fallen tree. Ravidat threw some stones into the hole and was surprised when they seemed to travel a long ways down. Returning with a teacher and some friends, he climbed down into the hole and began to explore. They soon discovered what were to become known as the Lascaux cave paintings – 17,000 to 20,000 years old and described by experts as “the cradle of art.”

The cave holds more than 2,000 painted and engraved images of animals and abstract symbols. A watertight protective layer of chalk has remarkably preserved the artwork in vibrant blacks, browns, reds, and yellows. The paintings are almost all of animals. There is only one human depicted and no flowers, trees, or landscape. The meaning of most of the abstract symbols is unknown.

Ravidat became an official guardian of the cave and a guide who, until the day he died in 1995, never lost his initial awe of the artwork he discovered. Lascaux was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, but is now closed to the public for its own protection. Only a few hundred meters away, though, lies Lascaux II – a virtually identical replica with 80% of the original images reproduced. It attracts about 250,000 visitors a year. ☮️Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Prehistory

Introduction: Prehistory is a period that spans the long timeframe from the appearance of humans on Earth, approximately 4.5 million years ago, to the revolutionary invention of writing around 5000 years ago. This moment marks the transition from prehistory to documented history.

Content: The first artifacts created by humanity date back to just under 2 million years ago, marking the beginning of the Stone Age, one of the main phases of Prehistory. This extended era can be divided into several distinct phases:

Paleolithic (1,800,000 – 10,000 B.C.): During this period, our hunter-gatherer ancestors developed essential survival skills, such as crafting tools from stone, wood, and bone. Their rock art and nomadic lifestyle characterize this phase.

Mesolithic (8,000 – 6,000 B.C.): This phase marked a step towards sedentism and the transition to more advanced agricultural and harvesting societies. Humans began refining their skills in stone processing and hunting, while fishing became an important food source.

Neolithic (6,000 – 4,000 B.C.): During this phase, agriculture and animal domestication became fundamental practices, leading to stable communities and settlement in villages. The production of pottery and the use of metal tools began to emerge, contributing to increasing social complexity.

Metal Ages (4,000 – 500 B.C.): This phase marks the transition from prehistory to recorded history, as human communities began using metals such as copper, bronze, and finally iron for the manufacturing of weapons, tools, and ornaments. This period is characterized by significant technological developments and the growth of early civilizations.

Conclusion: Prehistory is a fascinating chapter in human history, where the evolution of human skills, adaptation to the environment, and the formation of early cultures offer us a window into our ancient past before the era of writing.
