In this triptych, Jay Johnstone sets Gandalf at the heart of the War of the Ring, flanked by the two towers whose shadow falls across Middle-earth. Like an altarpiece from a medieval chapel, the three panels unite the wizard with Orthanc and Barad-dûr, the strongholds of Saruman and Sauron. Painted with the patient, traditional techniques of the old masters, the work glows with burnished colour and gold. Gandalf stands calm and resolute between them, a lone figure of wisdom and hope against twin powers of domination. It is a timeless meditation on light, darkness and the quiet courage to resist.
Across the base in Sindarin “Speak friend and enter.”
