Artist Spotlight: Ted Nasmith

Minas Tirith at Dawn, by Ted Nasmith

Include Ted Nasmith alongside John Howe and Alan Lee among the pantheon of early illustrators of Tolkien’s work. His style in pieces like Minas Tirith (above) and the Argonath does as good of job of capturing the grandeur and awe of Middle-earth. While none of his work is featured on official cards, both the First Age and ALeP community projects make excellent use of it. A gallery of his paintings is worth a long look.
