CAVE PAINTINGS

Most paintings tend to be of animals – likely due to their dependence on animals for food

Animals were believed to have been painted before a hunt – used as a form of magic to weaken their prey and therefore make them easier to hunt

Paintings are painted on the natural rock surface, which helps to add depth to the forms

Paintings were all found in caves that were set back from the main entrance – believed to be a separate area from the living quarters, perhaps used for some kind of spiritual activity

Paintings were painted overtop of one another – this suggests the original purpose of the paintings was more practical than artistic

Bison, Cave Painting, Altamira Caves c. 15,000-10,000 B.C

Altamira caves were found in 1879 – a hunter’s dog fell into a hole that proved to be the blocked entrance to an unknown cave – the cave paintings were on the ceiling – only discovered by a 5 year old girl – the only person who could stand upright (everyone else had to bend over)

Animals are painted in shades of red, brown, and black

Paintings primarily focus on bison

Bison were hunted for food, skin, bones and fur

There are at least 16 bison grouped in the centre of the ceiling – surrounded by 2 boars and a deer

Pictures are of the animals only – no landscape or horizontal base

Technical advancement at Altamira – the animals are painted on the natural protrusions from the rock face – gives them depth – also accurate proportions, used many different colours

Interior of the Lascaux Caves

The entrance to the cave was found by 4 teenaged boys – they stumbled upon the entrance when they found a hole leading to the cave under a tree that had been uprooted

Lascaux caves were discovered in 1940-41.

The caves in Lascaux are filled with paintings of bison, deer, horses, and cattle – all running across the walls

Some are simply outlined in black, others are filled in with bright earth colours – all show an uncanny sense of life

After WWII – the cave entrance was enlarged and the floors lowered to enable a constant flow of tourists (1200 people per day)

By 1955, the first indications of deterioration of the paintings appeared – due to the excess of carbon dioxide in the air brought about by the visitor’s breath

The Ministry of Cultural Affairs had the cave closed on April 20, 1963

Once the visits to the cave stopped, the causes of the changes eliminated, and the original climatic conditions recreated, the Lascaux cave art returned to its original state

A replica was opened in 1983 – called Lascaux II

Answer:

Lascaux – Altamira

Like Lascaux, the Spanish decorated cave contains one of the jewels of the Upper Palaeolithic. Just like its counterpart in the Perigord, the original cave was closed to the public to preserve it. And like us, the Spaniards created a facsimile a few hundred metres away for the public to visit.
