Lascaux's discovery in 1940 opened a new page in the knowledge of prehistoric art and our origins. Monumental work. The cave continues to feed the collective imagination and stimulate new generations around the world.
There is evidence that the images of the animals were associated with religious rituals and ceremonies. When capturing in the drawing the shape or movement of a reindeer, a horse, an aurochs, our hunter-artists believed that they were also capturing the soul of these animals, which would facilitate their next hunts. But this is just a hypothesis.
