Question

Look at this picture. Imagine you are an archeologist who has been searching for ancient artifacts through the caves in France, and you come upon this picture. What do you think it shows? Write a paragraph to explain what the picture shows, the artist who painted it, and why it was painted.

Answer 1

The cave painting on the image is representing the animals, or rather the environment that was seen by the artist/s of the painting in their surroundings. We can see that there are wild horses depicted on it, but also a rhino. The wild horses were probably a prey animal, while the rhino was a respected animal and feared one, thus they were avoiding it. The artist/s that painted it were the Cro-Magnons, early Homo sapiens in Europe, in what is now France. The reason why it was painted is probably because the artist wanted to depict the environment, but also maybe for teaching the youngsters about the animals from early age, so that they know which ones are to be hunted, and which ones to be avoided.
