Who were the most ancient artists on earth portrayed?

Rock, or cave painting, originated in Europe during the Paleolithic era. Many researchers associate its appearance with the beginning of religious ideas, as well as with the desire of ancient people to realize their place in the world.

Distinguish between single-color and multi-color drawings depicting various subjects. First of all, they depicted animals known to man at that time – buffaloes, bison, moose, mammoths. Over time, images of a person appear, and handprints appear in the Mesolithic. Perhaps these are some kind of signatures of ancient artists.

It is noteworthy that Paleolithic artists mastered a peculiar writing technique, when animals were drawn in motion. hunting scenes, in which people were depicted together with animals, were also a frequent plot. In such drawings, there were hunting tools, javelins, spears, and later depicted a bow and arrows.
