No biggie, Mnemosyne; key in "Luthien" in google images, and endless images of this will... at the very least, make you go "omigosh."

Oh, yes, that one stuck in my mind easily enough for me to find it again... that and the botched Pieta-style "Death of Boromir" that still makes my brain explode...

But I know there are some other pics that were on the page that I can't recall enough about to summon the Magical Key Words with which to retrieve them.

Ah, well--such is the fate of all things in this Middle-earth...

I brought that into art history class once. Massive brain hemorrhaging ensured.

Not to worry, they make up for it by milking a giant invisible cow.

Below is the link to an art gallery, stocked with well-known works alleged to have been inspired by Tolkien:

http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/gallery/gallery.htm.

Also, you'll find attached an interesting portrait of Sauron.

Wonderful link...just when I was convinced that there was no good Tolkien art (apart from the pictures by the man himself of course.. ).
