The painting that I found most fascinating was the Panel of the Black Horse. The black horse stood out to me because it had a mysterious tone to it. I believe it is a form of darkness, mystery, and freedom. In the cave, the horse was the only figure of its kind seen in this area. This leads me to believe that it might have some sort of importance and the black horse could have some mysterious meaning. The horse could have possibly been seen at night and might have frightened the ancient peoples. The frightening sight could have sparked curiosity and mystery, which was probably why it was expressed as an art form. On another note, the horse could have been spotted during the day and seen as a form of freedom. The horse looks strong and the mane is depicted to look like it is flowing in the wind. All in all, the black horse panel has a strong sense of wonder and awe, and that shows its importance to the artist.
