The Tolkien Estate provides viewers a look into J.R.R. Tolkien’s paintings including The Hobbit, The lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, For Children, Real Life and Imagination. From Smithsonian Magazine, via Artnet:
According to an emailed statement, the site features 12 previously unpublished items, including Tolkien’s paintings of flowers and exotic birds, a draft manuscript of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son (1953), and photographs of the author and his family.
The website debuted on February 26—a date that might ring a bell with die-hard Lord of the Rings fans: February 26, 3019, was the “date in the Third Age when the Fellowship of the Ring was broken at Amon Hen and Frodo and Sam set out on their lonely and terrifying journey to Mordor,” per the statement.
