This painting is amazing.Β  Any chance inspiration was taken from John Martins Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still? It bears a strikingΒ resemblance in composition. Just curious because I had to write a paper analyzing an old artist from the 1800's (I chose John Martin)Β then compare one of his works to a contemporary artwork.

The space between the mountains and the cloud gives it depth and scale that makes all the difference.

For me it reminds me more of Gondolin, the Hidden City, from the Silmarillion.

look up 'Fall of Gondolin'.
This is what happens to it after Melkor discovers its location thanks to Maeglin's betrayal to the city. One of my favorite tales of The Silmarillion.

Celethiel-Gadbeyl In reply to mankyme [2013-04-30 18:24:49 +0000 UTC]

yes however Gondolin was built on the top of a plateau or mesa not on the side of one. It is a sad tale, and part of the history that were in both the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, after all Orcrest and Glamdrin were both from Gondolin.... and I am sure Sting is too though it probably didn't get much of a mention...
