These are not the best examples of pure art. Mona
Lisa did not have the Nikon Coolpix camera, so she
had to hire a painter. The Lasceaux paintings
probably had animistic (religious) significance.

By the way, I took close-up pictures of three women,
one of them today. All of the women were shaken to
the bone by the prominent wrinkles shown in the digital
photos. These photos are totaly useless to them unless
the wrinkles are removed (retouched). British queen
Elisabeth went as far as making stencils for painters
to improve the beauty of her images. If Mona Lisa had
had the Nikon Coolpix camera, she would have hired
a painter anyway, because painters do not paint wrinkles.
