Gwenn Rigal, per molti anni guida-interprete nella celebre grotta di Lascaux, ci accompagna alla scoperta dell’arte parietale del Paleolitico superiore europeo, il cui fascino lascia ancor oggi stupefatti. Prodotta tra i 40000 e i 12000 anni fa, e omogeneamente diffusa su un territorio immenso, esteso dall’Atlantico agli Urali, fu il frutto di quella che si pu� considerare la prima civilt� europea. Ma perch� i nostri antenati Cro-Magnon si avventuravano nel fondo delle grotte per dipingere, incidere, scolpire i loro muti capolavori? Rigal prova a dare una risposta a questa cruciale domanda attraverso una rassegna critica di tutte le teorie formulate dagli studiosi in oltre un secolo di ricerche volte a spiegare il senso dell’arte delle caverne. Ne emerge un quadro complesso, in cui ipotesi interpretative assai diverse tra loro – pratiche magiche? cerimonie religiose? raffigurazioni mitiche? totemismo? animismo? – appaiono ognuna di per s� convincente, ma difficilmente conciliabile con le altre. Un quadro che Rigal illustra in un’esposizione tanto rigorosa quanto accessibile, e che arricchisce rendendo conto anche delle scoperte pi� recenti e dei continui progressi scientifici: dai metodi di datazione alle procedure stratigrafiche, alle modellazioni 3D. Si aprir� cos� davanti al lettore un luminoso spiraglio sulla vita e sulla mente dei primi artisti europei – e su uno dei pi� preziosi patrimoni riemersi da un passato antichissimo.
