Arctic art (English: Arctic art)

Japanese: 極北美術 - きょくほくびじゅつ(英語表記)Arctic art
Arctic art (English: Arctic art)
A general term for Mesolithic rock paintings found widely in Scandinavia, Finland, and northern Russia. The first were discovered in 1848 on the shores of Lake Onega in northern Russia, followed by others in northern Sweden in 1880, and then throughout Norway in the 20th century. These are divided into a northern group (northern and central Norway, Finland, northern Russia, Siberia) made by hunter-fishermen from the 6th millennium BC to the middle of the 2nd millennium BC, and a southern group (Sweden) made by farmers and pastoralists who already possessed bronze tools from the 2nd millennium BC to around AD.
