This poster is from from a 2002 collection of posters from Alan Lee which were painted in 1991 in which were used as a creative influence on the movies around the millennium. Alan Lee is one of the leading artists in Tolkien artwork.
Dimensions: 18.1 in x 11.8 in (46 cm x 30 cm)

"Orthanc" shows the seat of power of the wizard Saruman. Orthanc was the black, impenetrable tower of Isengard built by the Dúnedain. By the Great Years and the War of the Ring, it was controlled by the wizard Saruman the White. It stood in the center of the Ring of Isengard, surrounded by great defensive walls fortified by the early Men of Gondor.

Alan Lee was one of the leading designers in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy set of movies from Peter Jackson. You can see that these posters from the 90s show a strong resemblance to those later films, his influence is undeniable.

Alan Lee does "still work" the best -- even when his subjects are in motion, they look very quiet and almost dreamlike. There's a lot of detail poured into these, since even small twigs, cracks and stains make their way into his artwork. They also tend to have muted, faded colours, lots of soft greys, browns and greens. Some of them look like sepia photographs.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be sent in a cardboard backed envelope for protection.
