The Roc-aux-Sorciers frieze—a group of relief carvings of animals found in what is now France and dating from around 14,000 years ago—is sometimes said to be emotionally powerful despite its age, but in fact the frieze is precisely because of its age. It is the link of shared humanity with the artist across so many centuries that gives the Roc-aux-Sorciers frieze such resonance.
