“Meduseld”
Oil on canvas, 21″x13″ wide.
Artist Commentary: After the Éothéod had settled in Rohan, the Second King of Rohan, Brego son of Eorl, began building a great hall on top of the hill of Edoras.
Meduseld was a large hall with a straw roof, which made it appear as if made of gold when seen from far off. The interior walls were richly decorated with tapestries depicting the history and legends of the Rohirrim, and it served as a house for the King and his kin, a meeting hall for the King and his advisors, and a gathering hall.
In the late Third Age, Meduseld was the home of King Théoden, and in this painting, I wanted to show Meduseld as a lonely outpost shining in the waning sun as the storm of the War of the Ring gathers.
