The Black Rider
"The Black Rider"
Oil on canvas, 16"x10" wide.
Artist Commentary: The Nazgûl are among the most creative of Tolkien's creatures; there never has been anything quite like them, and they represent a bizarre blend of horror, fear, and pathos. They are forever doomed to seek the One Ring, and their enslavement to it is a direct result of their own sins. Yet, on some level, one wonders what they might have been like had they resisted their own Rings early on...if they had been able to counter their own failings and forego the lure of riches, power, and the control of others.
