Alan Lee’s style is whimsical and enticing–his landscapes of Mount Doom and Tol Brandir are enveloped in a foggy veil, the elf lady Galadriel glows in an strange light standing “tall and pale.” In contrast, John Howe’s works are bold and dramatic, reflecting terrifying encounters with trolls, dragons, and creatures of “sting and of claws.” These and other fabled paintings only add to our dreams of Middle-earth. –Naomi Gesinger
