The eagle is drawn perfectly to the point where it's large beyond belief, yet looks like it could travel silently, and be able to whisk away Gandalf. Gandalf's expression seems to imply the hope he now feels, the relief of finally being able to leave.
An excellent work, indeed.

Very good picture. Seems a little dramatic for what is a rather sober scene in the book. Still, I imagine even Gandalf would have been - to put it mildly - relieved to see Gwaihir, considering the predicament he was in. So I interpret this as the first appearence of the eagle before he settled down atop Orthanc.
(e_legolasgr, Thorondor had "pinions thirty fathoms wide" - that's a wingspan of 180 feet! Gwaihir has a little growing to do before he is the biggest.)

John Howe is one of the greatest artists in the world, and this is just another one of his glorious masterpieces! The details on the eagle are perfect--the eyes look so real, the open beak and protruding tongue can almost make you hear the giant bird's loud squawk, and the highlighted details on the soft, feathered wings are realistic and astounding! I also love the stunning moon and the misty clouds in the night sky. The colors and mystical appearance of the sky and Orthanc Tower are awesome! What can I say, I have no complaints!!!

The lines of Orthanc are so menacing in this painting. So dark, so forbidding... *shudder*
Gwaihir looks great, Gandalf look quite good as well.
Howe's the best.

The bird is so majestic and beautiful. It is a fine work of art. I am giving it a "4" just because i think that it would be much better if it showed Gandalf. But don't worry Howe. You are still my favorite Lord of the Rings illustrator.

Im sorry, It does show Gandalf. I must be going blind. But I think that I would still give it a "4" because it would be more dramatic if the bird was carrying him in his claws.

The eagle is drawn perfectly to the point where it's large beyond belief, yet looks like it could travel silently, and be able to whisk away Gandalf. Gandalf's expression seems to imply the hope he now feels, the relief of finally being able to leave.
An excellent work, indeed.

Very good picture. Seems a little dramatic for what is a rather sober scene in the book. Still, I imagine even Gandalf would have been - to put it mildly - relieved to see Gwaihir, considering the predicament he was in. So I interpret this as the first appearence of the eagle before he settled down atop Orthanc.
(e_legolasgr, Thorondor had "pinions thirty fathoms wide" - that's a wingspan of 180 feet! Gwaihir has a little growing to do before he is the biggest.)

John Howe is one of the greatest artists in the world, and this is just another one of his glorious masterpieces! The details on the eagle are perfect--the eyes look so real, the open beak and protruding tongue can almost make you hear the giant bird's loud squawk, and the highlighted details on the soft, feathered wings are realistic and astounding! I also love the stunning moon and the misty clouds in the night sky. The colors and mystical appearance of the sky and Orthanc Tower are awesome! What can I say, I have no complaints!!!
