The group of over 700 sites of prehistoric Rock art of the Iberian Mediterranean Basin, also known as Levantine art, were collectively declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998. | WIKI |
The art consists of small painted figures of humans and animals, which are the most advanced and widespread surviving from this period, certainly in Europe, and arguably in the world, at least in the earlier works. | WIKI |
It is notable for the number of places included, the largest concentration of such art in Europe. | WIKI |
Its name refers to the Mediterranean Basin; however, while some sites are located near the sea, many of them are inland in Aragon and Castillaxe2x80x93La Mancha; it is also often referred to as Levantine Art (meaning "from Eastern Spain", not the Levant region). | WIKI |
[1] According to UNESCO, the oldest art in the World Heritage Site is from 8,000 BC, and the most recent examples from around 3500 BC. | WIKI |
The art therefore spans a period of cultural change. | WIKI |
[3] The chronology of Levantine Art overlaps with that of Iberian schematic art, and examples of both types of art can be found at some sites. | WIKI |
Levantine Art was first discovered in Teruel in 1903. | WIKI |
The Spanish prehistorian Juan Cabre was the first to study this art, defining it as a regional Palaeolithic art. | WIKI |
Antonio Beltrxc3xa1n Martxc3xadnez and others place the beginning of this art in the Epipaleolithic or Mesolithic, placing its heyday in the Neolithic period. | WIKI |
[7] Accepting a post-Paleolithic age for the art, Ripio[who?] | WIKI |
devised a new chronological scheme in the 1960s, dividing the art into four stages:naturalistic, stylized static, stylized dynamic, and final phase of transition to the schematic. | WIKI |
The art appears over a wide area, and was created over a period of several thousand years; it is widely accepted that it shows stylistic and thematic development that reflects a long evolution, at least some local variety, and changes in way of life, though agreement on the details of this development is a continuing process. | WIKI |
The human figure, which is rare in Paleolithic art, acquires great importance in Levantine Art. | WIKI |
There is a much better developed sense of composition in group subjects than in Paleolithic art, and animals running are shown in the "flying gallop" convention that would last in art until after the invention of photography. | WIKI |
The tools represented in Levantine Art are usually arrows, sticks, quivers and bags, and ropes, perhaps used as lassos or trip-ropes. | WIKI |
The art is commonly found in rock shelters (protected by a natural ledge) and shallow caves in which sunlight can penetrate easily. | WIKI |
There is no clear preference as to what part of the rock shelter is used for art, it can be placed high or half-way up the walls. | WIKI |
