The "oldest know cave painting"

[edit]

I'm just briefly researching this in my art history class, but it appears that the red stippled disks would no longer be considered the oldest discovered cave painting after 1) A 2014 study discovered non figurative artwork in the Iberian Peninsula were at least 64,000 years old (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25297435/), and 2) a recent depictions of three wild pigs in an Indonesian cave were discovered in 2021 that were about 45,000 years old.
