Scenes from the Stone Age: The Cave Paintings of Lascaux is a new exhibit at the Field Museum, on view through Sept. 8.
Hundreds of paintings of animals — and just one human — adorned the white calcite walls of what has since been billed the “Sistine Chapel of prehistoric art.” Some showed an ability to draw perspective that experts thought hadn’t fully developed until the Renaissance.
