Levantine art

Levantine art
This refers to Mesolithic rock shelter paintings distributed widely in the Levant region of eastern Spain. They are spread across the provinces of Lleida, Tarragona, Teruel, Castellón, Cuenca, Valencia, Albacete, Murcia, Jaén, and Almeria, and about 40 sites have been found. Most of the murals are painted in monochrome red or black, and carvings are very scarce. The figures are generally small, with few animal figures exceeding 75 cm in size and few human figures exceeding 30 cm in size, with an average size of around 10 cm.
