Aragorn in Art

[inzilbeth]

Time for another painting, I think.

This is another one I like a lot. It's by the Hildebrandt brothers and is called 'Leaving Bree'.  I can't say I'm usually  the biggest fan of their work, the pantomine styles of their characters don't really do it for me, but there is something rather charming about this study of Aragorn and Frodo walking side by side as they set off on their journey.

I'm not a fan of the Brother's Hildebrand either. I find their drawings too whimsical. I can't say I like their mustachioed Robin Hood like Aragorn either. In fact, I dislike him most intensily.

But yes, there is a certain charm in this drawing.

P.s. I swear I hadn't read Almut's post when I wrote this. There seems to be a consensus on the Robin Hood thingy. LOL

Like I've said before, Estelcontar, I do love the way you call a spade a spade! And there's definitely a concensus on the Robin Hood theme, but, as I said to Cairistiona, its the interaction between the characters that so draws me to this picture.

That's what I find charming about the picture too.
