Sketched from memory in a lamp-lit cavern – this grinning Magdalenian horse in Niaux Cave in southwest France is between 17,000 and 11,000 years old. Photo by Heinrich Wendel pic.twitter.com/XNmY1regrV

I saw it! A photograph will never do justice to these amazing drawings. They have perfect proportions, facial expressions & perspective! 👊 Take that the Renaissance!

The paintings at Niaux were made over hundreds of years. Generations went there to paint.

Great cave. And still able to visit - get there while you can. Wonderful place.

Hey, that's not bad, for a 17,000-year-old.

I imagine they practiced outdoors quite a lot before they drew for keeps in the sacred cave temple. Evidently only those with talent were selected.

A painting this beautiful must have required some geometry. Could we say that our ancestors had discovered the basic theorems of geometry back then?

I just finished reading Jean Auel's "The Land of Painted Caves" and it makes me want to see these in person.
