Vache et Cheval

This tapestry “Vache et Cheval” shows a cow and horse from the extraordinary collection of ancient cave paintings found in the Lascaux in Southwestern France. These works from the Paleolithic era are estimated to be over 17,300 years old, and depict animals such as horses, cows, bison, stags, birds, felines, and bears. These works from this ancient era in humanity’s past were discovered in 1940 by four teenagers, and are considered one of the most unique and most ancient preserved pieces of art in art history. Here we see the cow and horse in motion, which demonstrate the beauty of what the artists saw in their time. The development of tools was progressively found to be more developed during this era, as was their ability to produce art. This art tapestry “Vache et Cheval” is backed with a lining and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
