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.

I love John Howe's watercolour work, but it may be that sculpture is his true medium. He really knows how to create a dynamic composition, full of movement and drama, yet still elegant. This is a wonderful portrayal of this moment. Hide.
