EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art known as the "Horse and Hind" cave painting. Created during the Palaeolithic period, between c16,000 and c9,000 BC, this artwork was discovered in Altamira, southern Spain. The unknown creator skillfully depicted two animals - a horse and a hind - on the walls of the cave. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring to life the prehistoric scene that once adorned these stone walls. It is fascinating to imagine how our ancestors utilized their artistic talents to communicate their experiences with wildlife thousands of years ago. This image not only serves as an archaeological treasure but also highlights the significant role that art played in early human societies. Through this depiction, we gain insight into their deep connection with nature and their ability to capture its beauty through visual representation. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen for eternity by an artist whose identity remains unknown. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the talent of our ancient predecessors and the enduring power of art across millennia.
