EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the Palaeolithic Period, dating back to approximately 40,000-12,000 BC. The image features a figure of a pregnant mare adorned with intricate parallel line markings. The artwork was discovered in Cueva de la Pileta, located in Benaojan, Spain - an archaeological site renowned for its rich collection of rock paintings. This particular depiction highlights the significance and reverence given to horses during this ancient era. The attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines that adorn the mare's body, emphasizing her gravid state. It serves as a testament to the deep connection between early humans and animals, particularly horses which played a vital role in their daily lives. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years into our ancestors' world where wildlife and livestock coexisted harmoniously. The horse symbolizes strength and fertility while also reflecting humanity's awe-inspiring artistic abilities even in prehistoric times. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this extraordinary piece of history through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and cultural significance it holds. This striking image reminds us of our shared past with these majestic creatures and invites contemplation on how they have shaped human civilization throughout millennia.
