Ancient art that still amazes us today.
Our ancestors were also artistic people, whose works of art amaze the viewers even today. From 40,000 BC to 10,000 BC, there were people whose works of art, when viewed through the lens of art, can still be considered wonders.In the field of art, sculpture, paintings, engravings And the art of engraving was very high. However, the art of making pots and building houses was not present among them. This man had immense intelligence to show the scenes of nature in their original state. This man was completely free from tendencies, so he is found copying nature with great sophistication and directness. It is also a fact that he would paint his body and carve the body by digging it up. He would also wear ornaments, but his main function was never to beautify things. There are several reasons for assuming this. For example, his best paintings and drawings were found on the walls and ceilings of caves that were difficult to reach. Also, the work of art was found in deep darkness. Also, the painter did not care about the images he created, as evidenced by the fact that he created new images on top of his own images when he needed them. There are numerous examples that suggest that instead of enjoying a good picture of him or keeping it for record, he would have painted over it one by one, so it is not hard to believe. That his aim was not to make a good and beautiful picture, but his main aim would have been to make a picture. He neither loved nor appreciated his own paintings. Rather, he would have made another painting of the same painting for his new creation. His art was a talisman. Apparently, its main function would have been to make the food supply easier and more accessible to facilitate its survival. In his mural paintings, his focus was animals, plants, or inanimate objects. They hardly ever entered his flight of thought.
Similar art can be found in Altamira. The Cave of Altamira is a cave complex located near the historic town of Santillana del Mar in Cantabria, Spain. The site was discovered in 1868 by Modesto Cubella and later studied by Marcelino Sanz de Sotola.
The oldest cave paintings were made about 35,600 years ago. Researchers found that these paintings were completed over a relatively short period of time, up to 20,000 years. Modern artists have been inspired by the Altamira cave paintings. After a visit, Pablo Picasso said, "After Altamira, all is decadent."
Artists in these caves used charcoal and ocher or hematite to create images, often diluting the pigments to create variation in intensity and chiaroscuro (an Italian term that literally means' light dark'). Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio are two artists known for their use of chiaroscuro to create the illusion of depth.He also took advantage of the natural contours of the cave walls to give his subjects a three-dimensional three-dimensional effect.
