The Argonath

Donato Giancola

July 2, 2025 - Last year I was approached by an art collector, Luca Schroeder, to see if I was interested in pursuing a new commission along the theme of The Argonath, a rendering of the Fellowship as they pass beneath two large statues flanking the River Anduin from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Given that I had not yet illustrated this moment from the novels, I was more than happy to explore and see what kind of composition and landscape we could arrive at as a solution.  As scale was a primary factor in conveying the immensity of these statues it likely meant for very small figures in the artwork.
