Portable art objects, engravings, drawings and paintings on cave walls and in the open air will be introduced as the earliest art known in the world, primarily from western Europe and dating 40000 to 12000 years ago.
Following the story of their discovery and authentication the lecture will discuss the main techniques employed, the pigments, the lighting methods and some of the reasons why this art corpus comprises some of the greatest imagery ever produced.
