About the Artwork

A Chariot and Rearing Horses Beneath a Tall Column

The Ben-Hur 1925 chariot race poster by Eric Rohman places a moving team of horses beneath a broad blue sky. Red reins connect the dark foreground horse with the charioteer at the right. A tall pale column rises behind the figures, balancing the low, fast-moving arrangement of animals and wheels.

Artwork and design

Loose blue and gray marks suggest speed around the horses’ legs and the lower chariot. The foreground animal’s raised forelegs create a strong dark shape against the lighter bodies behind it. Fine red lines lead toward the driver, while the large black title gives the busy scene a clear upper edge.

About this design

This Swedish design promotes Fred Niblo’s 1925 silent Ben-Hur, starring Ramon Novarro. Sotheby’s identifies the matching artwork with the first Swedish release in 1926. The chariot-race subject presents the film’s spectacle through strong movement and a compact arrangement of horses, driver and monumental architecture.

Rooms and interiors

Consider it for a media room, a study or a collection of historical equestrian graphics. Blue and cream can connect with light furnishings, while the dark horse supplies contrast. Keep the tall column and full chariot visible so the vertical architecture can balance the horses’ forward movement.
