Introduction
©2000 Silvia Battaglini
The Chauvet cave, found out in December 1994 in the Ardèche Valley of southeast France by three explorers, Jean-Marie Chauvet, Eliette Brunel Deshamps and Christian Hillaire, shows "powerful sophisticated works of art rather than crude sketches".(1)
The drawings, realized in following phases, are executed with several techniques and materials: drawing with coal and colored pigments, scraping and shading. The images are characterized by a great realism: the animal is represented with rapid, timely and precise signs. The promptness and the certainty that the draftsman shows in perceiving and in fixing the figures stress the deep knowledge on the anatomy and on the behavior of the animals.
