Main Panel of Lions and Rhinoceros. Chauvet Cave, France. Extended version. Digital oil painting.

Panoramic view of the breathtaking Panels of the Lions and Rhinoceros in the End Chamber of Chauvet cave, France. To express with words the magnificence of this mural is probably an impossible task. This work goes beyond the "simple" painting of beautiful animals. The whole composition, built around a hollow on the wall like a gate to the netherworld from where a single horse stares back at us, is simply overwhelming. The lions to one side, the rhinos to the other and the bison and mammoth surrounding the opening with that solitary horse. I could spend days on end just looking.

Those paintings are over 30,000 years old and their find ended with the idea that cave painting had evolved from basic drawings to its peak in the Magdalenian era, some 15,000 years ago,as seen in Altamira, Lascaux, Niaux or Ekain.

The paintings in Chauvet are for the most part monochrome...

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
