The Palette Collection brings together a series of films by Alain Jaubert exploring a selection of major works from various periods in the history of painting. Thanks to the latest techniques in video animation, the secrets of the paintings are revealed and discovering art becomes an enjoyable adventure
Lascaux
Lascaux, prehistory of the arts. This special episode of Palettes, twice as long as usual, applies the same criteria as the rest of the series to the Lascaux prehistoric cave drawings, considered to this day the richest and most beautiful collection of its kind. But is there really a prehistoric "art"? Who were the painters of Lascaux? Hunters, witches, inspired artists? How to explain the incredible unity in style of the different groups, or the difference in the rendering of certain figures, perhaps at different times? The techniques used to make this film have permitted to thoroughly investigate the images. While comparing different theories, this film allows us to discover a mythical site that has not yet ceased to fascinate us.
