EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copy of a Palaeolithic cave painting at Altamira, located in northern Spain. The original cave paintings were created by our ancient ancestors between 14,000 and 12,000 BC, making them an extraordinary testament to the artistic skills of the Stone Age. Published in John Lubbock's Prehistoric Times in 1913, this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of these prehistoric artworks. The focal point of this image is a majestic bison depicted with remarkable detail and precision. Its powerful presence evokes a sense of awe and reverence for the creatures that roamed our planet thousands of years ago. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even more. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when humans relied on caves as their canvas for self-expression. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human culture since time immemorial. This photograph not only celebrates the talent and creativity exhibited by our ancient ancestors but also highlights the significance of archaeological discoveries in understanding our past. It is through such artifacts that we can unravel the mysteries surrounding early civilizations and gain insights into their way of life. In essence, this print encapsulates both artistry and archaeology – two disciplines intertwined throughout history – inviting us to marvel at humanity's enduring fascination with capturing moments through visual expression.
