Description
Detail
of a
watercolor
copy
of a
wall
painting
. "
More
remarkable
still
is
a
painting
in
one
of the
older
rooms
at
Çatal
Höyük
that
generally
has been
acclaimed
as the
world's
first
landscape
(a
picture
of a
natural
setting
in its
own
right
,
without
any
narrative
content)
. As
such
,
it
remained
unique
for
thousands
of
years
.
According
to
radiocarbon
dating
, the
painting
was
executed
around
6150
BCE
. In the
foreground
is
a
town
, with
rectangular
houses
neatly
laid
out
side
by
side
,
probably
representing
Çatal
Höyük
itself
.
Behind
the
town
appears
a
mountain
with
two
peaks
.
Many
archaeologists
think
that the
dots
and
lines
issuing
from the
higher
of the
two
cones
represent
a
volcanic
eruption
, and have
suggested
that the
mountain
is
the
10,600-foot-high
Hasan
Da
?.
It
is
located
within
view
of
Çatal
Höyük
and
is
the
only
twin-peaked
volcano
in
central
Anatolia
. The
conjectured
volcanic
eruption
shown
in the
mural
does
not
necessarily
depict
a
specific
historical
event
. If,
however
, the
Çatal
Höyük
painting
relates
a
story
,
even
a
recurring
one
, then
it
cannot
be
considered
a
pure
landscape
.
Nonetheless
, this
mural
is
the
first
depiction
of a
place
devoid
of
both
humans
and
animals.
