Nearly 200 stunningly realistic paintings and drawings bring the greatest fantasy epic of all time to life in this full illustrated book by Donato. Classical realism unites with contemporary storytelling as artist Donato Giancola explores the mythic grandeur and the iconic characters and history of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings saga.
"Donato has made it his life's work to translate Tolkien's words into compelling visuals, with gorgeous oil paintings and drawings reminiscent of Rembrandt and Caravaggio. His interpretations of Middle-earth span his entire career, from private commissions to the 2001 edition of the graphic novel adaptation of The Hobbit, all collected in this massive compendium--a must-have for collectors of Tolkien and fantasy.”
"There's more to Donato Giancola's art than just a pretty face. Underneath the incredibly meticulous surface of his paintings is concealed a love of perspective and form, an intimate understanding of the human body, a historian's knowledge of costume and armour, an infallible sense of implicit narrative, visual storytelling and mythical history. It's just that you're so rapt gazing at all the mind-blowingly pretty bits that you tend to miss it. Look again. There's a lot more to see."
-John Howe, painter, conceptual artist
