The first artefacts that humans created were purpose-bound. Tools and weapons are among the first elements of functional art. Decorative pieces, necklaces and hair ornaments followed and soon after the first sculptures were created. Prehistoric people had created the appropriate tools to create art objects from bone and stone. Especially in the European area, images of the female body were made. Venus figurines are regarded as a sign of fertility, but can also stand for a time of matriarchy or be an erotic representation. One of the most famous figures is the Venus of Willendorf. A figure made of limestone, it probably represents the body of a real woman without including the glorification of a goddess. Religious aspects and the worship of goddess cults only play a role in the later course of art development.
Prehistoric art tells future generations something about life at that time. Cave painting is one of the art forms with a high value of lore and narrative qualities. When people began to seek shelter in rocky outcrops and caves, they began to create images on the bare rocks. With the beginning of cave painting, many images were still non-objective and in modern art they would be called abstract painting. As they developed, and especially as the Ice Age forced people into the caves, the works became figurative and representational. Animals were often depicted, painted with paint or carved into the rock. Paintings were created that were probably only for decoration. Artists of this period used different colors and employed chiaroscuro contrast to depict fur.
Prehistoric art includes works that were created later but deal with prehistoric themes. Artists of numerous eras dabbled in depictions of dinosaurs and prehistoric wildlife. These are illustrations based on scientific knowledge and the creativity of the artist. With regard to the state of research two hundred years ago and the artistic results, illustrations have been created that are on a high paleontological level. Many of these works would still be painted in the same way according to modern knowledge. Among the great mysteries of the past are the erected stones. Megaliths which, especially in Great Britain, puzzle scientists to this day. Often arranged in a ring, the stones have something magical about them and are sites of mystical tales. William Turner dedicated a watercolour to the most famous of the stone circles. A hint of Stonehenge appears in the spherical light and captures the magic of the place.
