Reconstruction of "the panel of the horses"
©2000 Silvia Battaglini
The portion of the cave, selected for being reproduced in real size, is "the panel of the horses", because it shows through beautiful images, the various painting techniques and the handy ability of the draftsman. In fact, in this panel, some refinements are visible: for example, the head of the four horses, reproduced with extreme care, especially about the details of the snouts and the tails, are drawn laid one upon the other, as for giving the perspective effect; moreover they are realized with the procedure of the "shading"; it consists on spreading the paint with the hand or a tool to obtain gradations, in order to enable the draftsman to depict reliets or the nuances; finally, in some parts of the panel, it's possible to notice the technique of the scraping as preparation of the wall before getting drawn, so that the images would stand out better; this technique is used on finished drawn, too: some contours of the figures are outlined by scraping, that give an effect of white and of relief, as for example the dynamic combat between two rhinoceros (down to right).
