Epigravettian (circa 20,000–13,000 years ago)
This imposing figure of aurochs (Bos primigenius) is a paradigm of “naturalism,” a trait that characterizes a portion of Paleolithic animal art, particularly during the period known as the Magdalenian in Western Europe and the Epigravettian in Mediterranean Europe. The perfect proportions, the precision of the anatomical details, the correct perspective, and its adaptation to the profile of the rock block that supports it led Paolo Graziosi to assert that he was standing before “the most majestic and successful expression of Mediterranean Paleolithic realism, the work of a Michelangelo of that era.”
