The first must be in one of the Stone Age caves, probably one of the French caves. The trouble is that experts do not fully agree on dating them. Anyhow, the pictures on the cave walls mostly represent animals. The obvious interpretation would be that people painted them for hunting luck. Others maintain that the paintings were some magic ritual things. Who knows?

The first known painting is believed to be the cave art found in the cave of El Castillo in Spain, dating back to at least 40,800 years ago. It is thought that early humans painted on cave walls as a form of communication, storytelling, or to express their beliefs and connection with the natural world. The exact reason for creating the first painting is still a matter of speculation, but it is likely that it served both practical and symbolic purposes for the ancient artists.
