Wenzel's style is like histories on stained glass given life. Just a joy to study this page! Congrats.
Thank you, Eric! That's a beautiful way to describe Wenzel's work- I couldn't agree more. Happy to hear you enjoyed studying the page- there is a lot of little detail to take in. I've always loved how this page in particular tells a whole little story in itself.
Eric nailed it with his comment. Great Page!
This is a glorious age from the last few pages of the story. The dragon has been slain, the races have been reconciled, and Bilbo has learned a great deal about the world and himself.
The figurework is just beautiful here. And I love that Bilbo is taking a nap while Gandalf recounts their tale to Elrond and his guests. It just fits Bilbo's personality perfectly..
Congratulations on this great page!
Thank you! You expressed my feelings towards this piece perfectly- down to the sleeping Bilbo!
Great art!!
I think a new edition might be upon us - whether I'm talking crazy or not, this is a great page.
Yes- a new edition just released this month! I plan on picking up a copy when I get a chance.
Thank you- one of my favorite Hobbit pages in my collection!
