Paleolithic Horse from Ekain Cave in the Basque Country, Spain. Digital oil painting.

One of the most exquisite paintings of a horse you can find in any of the European paleolithic caves.The detailed head and the dark stripes on withers, forearm and gaskin depict a horse species that roamed Europe during the last glaciation, "Przewalski's horse" (Equus ferus przewalskii). This same species can be found in Lascaux and other caves. Przewalski's horse is not extinct as many believe, but was on the verge of vanishing forever in the 20th century. It is nowadays an extremely endangered species trying to survive in a single reserve in Mongolia.
Most "wild" horses today, such as the American Mustang or the Australian Brumby, are actually feral horses descended from domesticated animals that escaped and adapted to life in the wild. In contrast, Przewalski's horse, also known as takhi, has never been domesticated and remains the only truly wild horse in the world today.

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...

WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
