Lascaux II cave painting replica C013 / 7375
Lascaux II replica of a Lascaux cave painting. This is the unicorn figure in the Great Hall of the Bulls. The original Lascaux cave was closed to the public in 1963. The full-scale Lascaux II replica opened nearby in 1983. The Lascaux cave paintings in south-western France, around 17, 000 years old, were painted by Cro-Magnon man, an early European culture of modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens), using red, brown and yellow ochre, and black manganese dioxide. They may have had religious and artistic significance. Photographed in 2010

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Lascaux II cave painting replica C013/7375, capturing a moment frozen in time from the Stone Age. The image features an awe-inspiring unicorn figure found within the Great Hall of the Bulls, meticulously recreated to honor its original splendor. Dating back approximately 17,000 years, these ancient paintings were crafted by Cro-Magnon man, early European ancestors who left behind a profound artistic legacy. The significance of these prehistoric artworks extends beyond their aesthetic appeal. They offer us a glimpse into the religious and cultural practices of our distant past. Using natural pigments such as red, brown, yellow ochre, and black manganese dioxide, these talented artists brought life to their depictions of animals and fauna that once roamed southwestern France. Intriguingly, this photograph was taken in 2010 at the full-scale Lascaux II replica site since access to the original Lascaux cave has been restricted since 1963 due to preservation concerns. This UNESCO World Heritage Site serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication in preserving our historical heritage for future generations. As we marvel at this snapshot from history captured by Philippe Psaila's lens for Science Photo Library, we are reminded of our shared origins with those early Homo sapiens sapiens who walked this earth thousands of years ago. It is through discoveries like these that we deepen our understanding of humanity's rich tapestry and appreciate how far we have come on our evolutionary journey.
