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 looking at the hats and trying to imagine how they intend to get through the wilderness unseen.

Can't you just picture them hiding behind a log while the Nazgul and their horses just stand there, looking directly at their hats? And the two of them later wondering how the Nazgul knew they were there?

Lol! That's a very good point! Makes you wonder how Strider got to last in the wild as long as he did.
