It just may be that artistic expression is innate to humans and a vital part of what makes us human. These thoughts are bound to come to us while observing the 30,000-year-old Chauvet Cave paintings and more than 17,000 years old Lascaux Cave paintings. Exceptional realism, as well as their spectacular colours, is why these caves are sometimes referred to as The Sistine Chapels of Prehistory – and their artists as Michelangelos and Da Vincis of Palaeolithic. Their art survived through millennia of the changing world, rising and falling of civilizations, wars, and climate, leaving a permanent mark for us and our descendants to find and admire. 

Treat yourself to this special and timeless art piece.
