Faux Bronze Statue
Éowyn and the Nazgûl™ is the second sculpture in our range of The Art of John Howe.The sculpture is based on John’s original artwork originally done for the 1991 Tolkien Calendar.This is a painting John has long wanted to see become a sculpture. Fair but fierce, Éowyn’s rage and terror is clear to see as she prepares to slay the fell-beast and its rider, the Lord of the Nazgûl. The original painting was stolen in 1997 from the Médiathèque of Sedan in France, along with “Gandalf the Grey” and “the Uruk-hai”. Like them, it was never recovered.
This is a rare opportunity to own this iconic and dynamic piece. The Art of John Howe – Sculptures from Middle-earth™ is a series of sculptures from John’s iconic representations of Tolkien’s worlds, sculpted by Weta sculptors Daniel Cockersell, Brigitte Wuest and Eden Small under the creative guidance of John Howe and Richard Taylor. This statue is cast in polystone resin, a material that allows intricate detail. It’s the same material we cast most of our collectible statues and busts.For fine art collectors, Éowyn and the Nazgûl™ is also available in Bronze. The statue sits on a black marbled polystone base. The bases are cast using a process that creates a unique marbling effect for each individual piece.
