All Lascaux

Since its discovery in 1940, the Lascaux cave, decorated 20,000 years ago by hunter-gatherers of the Palaeolithic period, is the symbol of human creative genius. This prestigious work, richly illustrated with photographs from the complete replica of the cave, shares all the artistic wonders of Lascaux, the knowledge accumulated by generations of researchers and their principle hypotheses for interpretating the hidden meanings of the paintings.
It also reveals the secrets of the successive reproductions of the cave. The book opens with a preamble by Yves Coppens, palaeontologist and co-discoverer of Lucy, retracing the origins of both humankind and art, and is prolonged by multimedia content via a free app and 360° immersion in Lascaux IV.
