Brief Introduction of Buffalo Mural in Milla Cave, Alta, Spain

The remains of primitive painting art discovered in the late Paleolithic period in the 197s (at least 1, years ago). Located in the cave of Altamira in northern Spain. Animals such as bison, reindeer and mammoths are painted on the walls of the grottoes, with vivid shapes and concise techniques. It shows that human beings at that time have begun to use brightly colored mineral pigments to paint. Twenty-one bison are painted in red and black on the rock wall of the main cave of Alta Milla Cave, each with vivid images and extraordinary skills, which is really amazing. These murals are about 14, to 2, years old. In 1985, the cave was listed on the World Heritage List. European late Paleolithic murals. In the altamira Cave in Santander, northern Spain. Found in 1879. At first, the academic circles disagreed that it was the work of primitive people, and it was not recognized until 192. The cave is 27 meters long, and most murals are distributed on the top and walls of the 18-meter-long side cave. The contents are mainly herds of bison painted in red, black and purple, as well as wild boar, wild horse and red deer, totaling more than 15. These animal images are exquisitely and vividly depicted. Among them, the painting of a bison lying on the ground injured, bowing its head and glaring at the front, shows the wildness of the cow very realistically, and is recognized as the masterpiece of original painting in the history of world art. There are also carved figures and hand outline graphics in the cave. In the front of the cave, relics of the late Paleolithic culture were found, which provided evidence for dating the rock paintings. It is generally believed that the content of murals may be related to the witchcraft activities of primitive people praying for the success of hunting. The cave is about 27 meters long, deep and tortuous. More than 15 murals are concentrated at the entrance with a length of 18 meters and a width of 9 meters, which are the remains of ancient paintings in the late Paleolithic period from 3, BC to 1, BC, and are called "Magdelin culture". In the cave, there are places where prehistoric people slept and stone stoves for barbecuing food and making a fire to keep warm. The traces of embers at the bottom of the stoves are clearly discernible. The cave roof and cave walls are mostly simple landscape sketches and scattered animal portraits, such as bison, wild horses, wild boars, mammoths, goats, red deer, etc., which depict the familiar animal images of primitive people in a realistic, rough and colorful way, such as standing, running, lying, screaming, various and lifelike. Mural pigments are taken from minerals, charcoal ash, animal blood and soil, and mixed with animal fat. They are mainly red, black and purple, with strong colors and dazzling colors, reaching the peak of prehistoric art and having high historical and artistic value. There is a raised rock at the bottom of the cave, covered with canvas, for visitors to lie on their backs and watch the cliff paintings. Some animal images on the murals are very tall, such as a deer that is 2.2 meters long. Their naturalistic style, unique characteristics of different animals and secondary characteristics are surprising. What is particularly outstanding is the author's exquisite brushwork and the use of limited colors such as ochre, red, yellow and black to draw the manes of various animals, and the clever use of uneven walls in caves to express the shapes of animals, which has produced amazing artistic effects. The most prominent is The Injured Bison, which is about 2 meters long. It depicts the cowering of bison after injury, and accurately and powerfully shows the structure and dynamics of animals. Different from Lascaux Cave, the frescoes in Alta Milla Cave have a thin outline, and the thickness of the frescoes varies from light to dark, which is closely combined with color rendering. By dynamically expressing the structure of animals' bodies, the ups and downs of light and dark are richer and even more delicate, but they are not as bold and powerful as the frescoes in Lascaux Cave.
