Description

Cave of El Castillo Hands and Bison. DIgital oil painting.

Stenciled Hands and Bison from Cave of El Castillo, Cantabria, Spain. Digital oil painting.

Detail of three negative hands, and a peculiarly bearded bison painted in yellow ocher.

The Cueva de El Castillo (cave of the Castle) is part of the Caves of Monte Castillo archaeological site in the province of Cantabria, Spain. It contains the oldest known cave art in Europe. Some researchers even argue it might be a product of the Neanderthal. Hand stencils, claviforms and disks painted by blowing paint onto the wall date back at least 40,800 years, making them older than those in Chauvet, dated to around 39,000 years BP.

The paintings in el Castillo range from these early times to 5000 ybp. Around 35,000 years of human presence and cultural manifestations. A treasure like few in the world spanning from the lower paleolithic to the bronze age.

Among the many paintings depicting the surrounding fauna of the artists, and the myriad signs and symbols the meaning of which we might never grasp, over 50 negative hands stand out. Research suggests most of the hands belong to women, which puts into question the traditional and gratuitously accepted fact that caves were painted by men.

Cueva del Castillo was discovered in 1903 and is studied and understood as part of the Altamira ecosystem.
