A Definitive Piece of Planet of the Apes Art

This is the iconic Mondo art poster created by Florian Bertmer for the classic science fiction film, Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973). Bertmer’s intensely detailed screen-print captures the raw conflict and violence that defined the final chapter of the original POTA series.

The composition is brutal and dynamic, perfectly reflecting the movie’s themes of war, survival, and the final clash between the remnants of humanity and the ascendant simian civilization.
