"It is said that the towers of Emyn Beraid were not built indeed by the Exiles of Númenor, but were raised by Gil-galad for Elendil, his friend; and the Seeing Stone of Emyn Beraid was set in Elostirion, the tallest of the towers." - J.R.R. Tolkien, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
The epic friendship between Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor, and the mortal man Elendil the Tall is worthy of art, story, and song. When Elendil is washed upon the shores of Middle-earth after fleeing the downfall of Númenor, magnificent silver-haired Gil-galad reputedly offers him consolation in the raising of the three towers. You can read more about their powerful friendship in Gil-galad and Elendil: Beowulfian Shoulder Companions.
Things to notice in this hand-painted, Tolkien-inspired artwork:
- The window sashing, which Gil-galad has designed, incorporates the first initial of both his name and Elendil’s, in tribute to their friendship.
- Gil-galad’s raiment is embroidered with his starry insignia.
- There is a folk art depiction of the shores of Númenor, including a motif of the White Tree, on Elendil’s trunk, which Gil-galad has had brought up into the tallest tower, Elostirion.
The merciful welcome which Gil-galad gives to a refugee results in their incredible role in the Last Alliance. For seven years, they fight side-by-side before defeating the Enemy and setting in motion much that will happen in The Lord of the Rings. If J.R.R. Tolkien’s sweeping tales of great deeds are what speak most resoundingly to your heart, hanging this museum-quality print in your home will help you celebrate what you champion and love.
