Cave art

Japanese: 洞窟美術 - どうくつびじゅつ
Cave art
These are paintings on the walls and ceilings of caves, carved into them with lines, reliefs, or painted with brush strokes. They can be found all over the world, but all of them have a strong magical character. The most famous cave murals are from the late Paleolithic period in central and southern France and northern Spain. Altamira, Fonds de Gaume, and Lascaux are representative examples.
