Bull market for ox pictures

The ox has long been a favorite subject for artists.

For instance, archaeological excavations in the 296-m-long Altamira cave in Spain have found polychrome rock paintings of herds of bison created some 18,500 years ago.

Archaeologists have also found in the Lascaux Caves of France, some of the most remarkable Paleolithic cave paintings in the world, featuring images of bulls, horses and stags. The Lascaux paintings are believed to be at least 15,000 years old.
