A l'occasion de l'exposition itinérante Lascaux III, l'ouvrage retrace l'histoire de la découverte de la grotte ainsi que sa préservation, et présente ses successives reproductions de Lascaux II à 3D. ©Electre 2025
Since its discovery in 1940, the Lascaux cave in Dordogne, France has unfailingly fascinated and intrigued. Why did Paleolithic artists adorn the walls 20,000 years ago with dozens of magnificent polychrome stags, cows and horses ?
Composed on the occasion of the travelling Lascaux International Exhibition, this work plunges us into the mystery of the world's most famous decorated cave and Shared Heritage of Humanity Site to unveil its secrets.
Lavishly illustrated, it recounts the discovery of Lascaux, its closure to the public to protect its treasures and the astounding story of successive copies, from Lascaux II to 3D that allow us to admire its beauty and attempt to understand its hidden meaning.
A veritable homage to the geniuses of prehistory, this work initiates a dialogue between artists of yesterday and today: those of the Paleolithic era who bequeathed us this exceptional message of humanity, and those who through their patient work and talent are breathing new life into this masterpiece.
Lascaux: a masterpiece that undergoes many metamorphoses and rebirths before our eyes.
