Minas Tirith Lord of the Ring linocut print
Description:
"Before the eyes rises the Gate of Minas Tirith, carved with bas-reliefs that recall ancient glories, and guarded by white walls, last sentinels against the advancing shadow.
On either side of the entrance stand solemn the statues of the great kings of old, like silent Argonath, holding aloft the portal of the White City, a memory of the lineage of Númenor.
Yet at the very heart of the siege looms terror: the mighty Grond, the great battering ram wrought in the form of a monstrous wolf, strikes with dreadful blows against the Gate, driven by the wrath of Mordor.
From above descends the Winged Beast, mount of the Nazgûl, whose piercing cry rends the hearts of men and spreads despair among their ranks.
Thus the print portrays Minas Tirith not only as a city of marble and hope, but as a fortress under siege: statues that guard the past, walls that preserve the light, and dark powers pressing relentlessly at its gates.
ABOUT PRINTS
All my LOTR-themed works depict a gateway to immerse oneself in the magical world created by Tolkien.
A hand crafted block print made in black oil-based Ink printed on Masa 86gsm paper.
Paper Dimensions:
Print Dimensions: 32cm x 44cm
Limited edition of 100 prints, numbered and signed by the artist Andrea.
This is a limited artisan edition.
This is not a print made by a printer, but a handmade work, as ancient traditions have taught us.
The matrix is engraved by hand, and the print is made using a roller press, also by hand.
Nothing technological, just paper, ink and a lot of passion, a process that takes days, from engraving to printing, to achieve this result.
The prints all differ in certain details, including colour intensity and minor imperfections, all of which are due to the craftsmanship involved in their production.
The matrix does not produce infinite copies, so all prints are, by their very nature, limited editions.
These prints are collector's items for true admirers of Tolkien's works.
The visual pleasure and display on the wall have a completely different effect compared to printed posters.
