Moria Gate Lord of the Ring linocut print
Description:
"There, upon the flank of the Misty Mountains, shine the Doors of Durin, etched with elvish runes and silver lines, memory of a time when Elves and Dwarves walked in friendship.
They guard the entrance to the Mines of Khazad-dûm, once filled with light, with hammers and with song, now fallen into silence, broken only by stealthy steps and darker presences.
Deeper within lies the Chamber of Mazarbul, where stands the tomb of Balin, son of Fundin, last lord of Moria. Around it are ruins and shattered pillars, and upon the stone remains carved the memory of his vain reconquest.
Yet over all looms the ancient terror: the Balrog of Morgoth, flame and shadow incarnate, roused in the unfathomable deeps of the mountain.
Thus the print evokes both past greatness and present ruin: the gate that promises wonder, the tomb that tells of defeat, and the fiery shadow that yet reigns in Moria."
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: 55x20 cm
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.
