Tolkien Graphics

Alan Lee's illustrations display a sensitive and imaginative interpretation of Tolkien's Middle Earth.
Stay a While...

These images below are thumbnail images. Click on a thumbnail to load the full size version which resides at The University of Sweden.

I have found the Swedish site to be very slow. The Hamburg site is usually much faster.

The full size images are very large. I give the size of the full scale image file is in bytes. Even the thumbnails are large enough to be usable. I have divided Alan Lee's artwork into more than one page because of its extensiveness and the size of the thumbnail images.

You can right-click either the thumbnail or full size image and save a copy to your system. Please do this if you want a copy. Please do not reference this page on Gandolf dot Com in an anchor tag; use your copy instead.

lee02.jpg Frodo and Gandalf featured on the April, 1993 Tolkien calendar and in Tolkien's World.

Gandalf visits Frodo at Bag-End to discuss Frodo's little ring, one of the great rings of power--the One Ring which rules them all.

He [Gandalf] was smoking in silence, for Frodo
was sitting still, deep in thought. Even in the
light of morning he felt the dark shadow of the
tidings that Gandalf had brought.

Of stars in shadow shimmering.

To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her rainment glimmering.
