Description
Pech Merle Horses and Hands. Digital oil painting.
Detail of the most iconic painting in the cave of Peche Merle. I have visited quite a few painted caves in my time, but this is the only figure I ever got to being alone in front of. Just the two horses and me, for a minute, before lights went out and I had to run with the rest.
The right horse is framed by the shape of the rock that probably inspired the painting. The horses can be seen through each other, as though they were transparent. The negative hands surrounding them deliver a message we will never understand... Those horses are more stylized than the ones found in Lascaux or Ekain, as if the artist let his creativity loose.
Pech Merle cave opens onto a hillside at Cabrerets in the Lot departement of the Occitania region. It is one of the few prehistoric cave painting sites in France that remain open to the general public. Extending for more than a mile from the entrance, the cave walls are painted with murals dating as far as from the Gravettian.
