Epics
Epic movie posters embody the grandeur, heroism, and visual splendor of cinema at its most ambitious. From biblical sagas like The Ten Commandments (1956) and Ben-Hur (1959) to sweeping historical dramas such as Lawrence of Arabia(1962) and Spartacus (1960), these posters reflect the era when Hollywood sought to dazzle audiences with scale, spectacle, and emotion. Illustrated by master artists including Howard Terpning, Reynold Brown, and Renato Casaro, epic posters were painted with monumental scope—crowded battle scenes, radiant color, and portraits of heroes illuminated by destiny. Later works like Gladiator (2000) and Braveheart (1995) carried this tradition into the digital age with photography and moody chiaroscuro, yet the themes remained timeless: courage, sacrifice, and the quest for glory. For collectors, Epic posters represent the art of cinematic storytelling at its most elevated—visual monuments to the scale, craftsmanship, and wonder of the big screen.
