Book Synopsis Prehistoric Art in Europe by : Nancy K. Sandars
Download or read book Prehistoric Art in Europe written by Nancy K. Sandars. This book was released on 1995-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until around 10,000 BC art in Europe appears to have been in advance of the rest of the world and throws light on the total history of early man. The great masterpieces of cave-painting at Lascaux are well known, and one tradition of early sculpture is from the first surprizingly classical. With the shelter paintings of the Spanish Levant and the clay modelling and painted pottery of eastern Europe in the fourth and third millennia BC fresh artistic problems were tackled. Later still evolved the high technical accomplishment of the metal-workers, and this study concludes with an account of the new departures of Celtic La Tene art of the last four centuries BC.

Book Synopsis A Comparative Study of Rock Art in Later Prehistoric Europe by : Richard Bradley
Download or read book A Comparative Study of Rock Art in Later Prehistoric Europe written by Richard Bradley. This book was released on 2020-10-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Element summarises the state of knowledge about four styles of prehistoric rock art in Europe current between the late Mesolithic period and the Iron Age. They are the Levantine, Macroschematic and Schematic traditions in the Iberian Peninsula; the Atlantic style that extended between Portugal, Spain, Britain and Ireland; Alpine rock art; and the pecked and painted images found in Fennoscandia. They are interpreted in relation to the landscapes in which they were made. Their production is related to monument building, the decoration of portable objects, trade and long distance travel, burial rites, and warfare. A final discussion considers possible connections between these separate traditions and the changing subject matter of rock art in relation to wider developments in European prehistoric societies.
