It seems as if he drew a volcano exploding..
It's the entire 3rd age ended and the downfall of Sauron - not Krakatoa.

Landroval, soaring in from behind Gwaihir, would

Durin's Bane
The Third Age ended with the departure of Bilbo and Frodo and the keepers of the Elven-Rings from the Grey Havens, some 2 1/2 years after the rescue of Frodo and Sam from Mount Doom.
And let's not forget that Meneldor the Swift was there with Gwaihir and Landroval...!

This picture made me feel small. Seldom am I so awed. The artistic take on it is most excellent: the eagle appears over a craggy horizon as two small and helpless figures wave for help from amidst the wreck and ruin of the very land they stand on. This is, I believe, the most breath-taking piece of Tolkien art I have ever seen.

As I said before:I think no artist understands Tolkien as well as John Howe!
How can you not be in awe of this painting?It's structure,it's colours,it's all just perfect!!!
Who cares about the title anyway?Never was a rating more easy than with this one...It's not the best piece I've ever seen,but it's not far off! Amazing!!!

A beautiful pic. Why do people think the eagle is too big? Looks fine to me. Hobbits are small so maybe that is why the eagle looks huge.

beautifull picture.
i believe the 3rd age ended with the fall of sauron which occured as a result of gollum "swan diving" the ring in to the cracks of doom.this picture appears as though it was just moments after that incident.
the 4th age did not begin until elrond departed middle earth,a few years later.
as i see it,in a way,time stood still for a brief sweet while.
perhaps a congralatoy gift to our heroes from illuvitar or the valar.

Its nice for once to see a picture put up here that doesnt have us all descend into another arguement of what it should look like. ;-)
The fact that nearly everyone has said the same thing indicates how good a pic this is.
I am actually just finishing the last book (Frodo et al have just left Gandalf as he goes off to talk to Tom Bombadil, on their way home to the Shire) and my impression was that Gandalf considered the destroying of the ring the ENDING of the Third age, ie the beginning of the end, which finished when Frodo and the others sailed the "straight road" to the west.
But thats just my interpretation of a excellent book.
As for the pic, well, what hasnt been said that I can say? Only that Frodo and Sam where found on a mound of ash, not really a rocky outcrop. But a soft mound of ash would almost certainly detract from such a dynamic and jagged picture so I will let it go this once :-)
I really enjoyed this pic.

I think that its a great picture. The hobbits are small creatures, and the hopelessness of their situation probably felt like the world was coming down around them. Then these great eagles appear to save them. That last bit of hope must have seemed like a gift from God, and larger than life. Just my opinion. Nice picture.

I think the title is all wrong; the End of the Third Age was when Elrond Half-Elven left Middle Earth and not when the ring was destroyed. And where's the other eagle with Gandalf? Great picture though.

yes, this is a five!!!! but i think that the title is not correct.... the end of the third age was when elrond, galadriel, gandalf, bilbo and frodo left middle earth.... but anyway this pic is wonderful and the eagles have to be so big.... they can carry on people like gandalf for instance..... not only small hobbits.....

...But overly theatrical. Was he trying to draw a sketch of the scene for Peter Jackson, or is this going to be Jackson's inspiration? Because, while it is SO very inaccurate according to the book (yes, there were 3 eagles, yes LOTR eagles are bigger than those on our world - eagles fight dragons, remember?, yes they were on a mound of slag about to be overrun by a river of lava from Mount Doom - not on a promonitory about to break off - when the eagles came to get them, yes there are other inaccuracies from the book too...), it is a wonderfully vibrant picture, and it looks like some of the sketches on the LOTR movie site (I'm thinking in particular of the sketch of Gandlaf on the top of the Tower of Orthanc) of scenes from the movie, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see something like this picture at the climax of the third movie!
This event, by the way, is the beginning of the end of the Third Age, which of course did not end until Bilbo, Frodo, and the rest left Middle-Earth and sailed into the west. But the Fourth Age didn't start until later, right? Who gives a rat's a$$, anyways? It's going in my gallery because it's still a VERY good drawing...

If the Eagles were willing to fly to Mordor, than why didn't they just fly Frodo to Mount Doom? Why did he have to walk?
This picture is excellent though. Howe has an eye for detail.

Hey, this is like the "after" of Michael Whelan's "The Eagles Are Coming"! But I think the title is perfect for the image. To answer Prionce_Imrahil's question, Gandalf realized the Ring was destroyed when the earth responded....he didn't know that Frodo and Sam were already at Mount Doom.

Hey, this is like the "after" of Michael Whelan's "The Eagles Are Coming"! But I think the title is perfect for the image. To answer Prionce_Imrahil's question, Gandalf realized the Ring was destroyed when the earth responded (or something like that)....he didn't know that Frodo and Sam were already at Mount Doom.

They'll be rescued! It's a good picture, scary, but I agree that there were 3 eagles, and Frodo adn Sam had passed out. I also agree about the title error.

can't wait to see how they depict it in the film. Although there are some inaccuracies.
