Thnak you for the link to those pictures, davem. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The artist certainly gives some very interesting takes on the events of the book. The portrayal of Gandalf, Aragorn and Frodo almost as saints in the style of mediaeval religious paintings gives the impression that they were painted some time in the Fourth Age in commemoration of the events of the War of the Ring. Likewise with the portrayal of Theoden at the Pelennor in the style of the Bayeaux Tapestry, which I particularly like.
