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 Lascaux II cave painting replica, specifically capturing horse and cow figures in the central gallery. The original Lascaux cave, dating back approximately 17,000 years, was closed to the public in 1963 due to preservation concerns. However, this full-scale replica opened nearby in 1983, allowing visitors a glimpse into the ancient world of Cro-Magnon man. The intricate paintings found within the Lascaux caves were created by early European culture Homo sapiens sapiens using natural pigments such as red, brown and yellow ochre, as well as black manganese dioxide. These prehistoric artworks hold immense historical and artistic significance and are believed to have served both religious and cultural purposes. Photographed in 2010 by Philippe Psaila from Science Photo Library, this image not only captures the beauty of these ancient rock art masterpieces but also highlights their importance for anthropology, paleontology, and archaeology. The presence of horses and cows depicted on these walls offers insight into the fauna that existed during that time period. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979, Lascaux II serves as a testament to our shared human history. Through this photograph's vivid depiction of animal figures painted with precision on stone walls thousands of years ago, we are reminded of our connection to past civilizations while marveling at their artistic achievements.
