This essay, translated from the original German by Gioachino Lisi and published way back in 1954, has the apparent guise of the usual introductory booklet to prehistory. However, it hides a wealth of more than satisfactory data and information, which one becomes aware of only after a careful and complete reading, and constitutes a completely original history of research. In fact, the narration of the main discoveries of the various cycles of Quaternary painting and art is marked and organized for decades starting from 1833 until 1960, with a wealth and exhaustiveness of references to people, environments, philosophical events and bibliography that is surprising for the forgetfulness that this research has undergone, above all for an audience of connoisseurs and enthusiasts of the sector.
