EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a remarkable discovery from the ancient world: a Chinese horse depicted in the Caves of Lascaux, dating back approximately 16,000-15,000 BC. The Caves of Lascaux, located in Perigueux, France, are renowned for their extensive collection of prehistoric cave paintings. This particular artwork, created using charcoal and red ochre, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Upper Paleolithic culture. The Chinese horse, a powerful and elegant creature, is one of the most intriguing discoveries in the Caves of Lascaux. Despite its name, this horse does not resemble the breeds we know today as Chinese horses. Instead, it is believed to be an early representation of the wild horses that roamed Europe during the Ice Age. The horse's graceful form, with its arched neck and flowing mane, is rendered in exquisite detail, showcasing the artist's skill and understanding of the animal's anatomy. The Upper Paleolithic period, which spanned from around 40,000 to 10,000 BC, is known for its rich artistic heritage. The discovery of these cave paintings provides valuable insights into the lives of our ancient ancestors and their connection to the natural world. The use of charcoal and red ochre, natural pigments readily available during the Ice Age, demonstrates the resourcefulness and creativity of the artists who created these masterpieces. This image, preserved in the Centre national de Prehistoire in Perigueux, is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the imagination and transport us back in time. The Chinese horse of Lascaux is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of our ancient ancestors.
