Hidden in the depths of a cliff overlooking the Vézère Valley, the Font-de-Gaume cave contains one of the world's fi nest collections of prehistoric cave art. The cave, located eight hundred metres from the village of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, in Dordogne, is part of a larger series of decorated caves and rock shelters, some of which have been on the Unesco list of World Heritage Sites since 1979.
Font-de-Gaume features over two hundred depictions of animals, including horses and mammoths, cervids, and even a woolly rhinoceros. Above all, there are around eighty paintings of bison, giving the cave its name of Grotte aux Bisons. The outstanding paintings can be dated to around 15,000 years BCE and were
executed along the walls of a 120-metre long gallery. Sometimes isolated, but generally clustered in friezes, the figures are grouped
in some places in true narrative scenes seemingly created deliberately by the artist.
Font-de-Gaume is the only cave decorated with polychrome paintings still open to the public in France.

Reviewed in France on December 6, 2014

Livre très bien fait. Les croquis correspondants aux reproductions en couleurs permettent de visualiser le tracé sur les parois et de localiser, dans la cavité, la position exacte de ou des clichés.
Les commentaires n'abordent pas assez la ou les techniques employées par les artistes de l'époque et ne remettent pas en perspective les autres sites de la région.
Enfin la qualité des prises de vue( flash trop présent = tâche blanche de surexposition) et de leur repoduction ne sont malheureusement pas à la hauteur des chefs d'oeuvre de cette grotte.
