Anato Finnstark - The Witch King (Deluxe Art print, signed and numbered)
Here comes a supeeeerb illustration by Anato Finnstark inspired by the universe of The Lord of the Ring and featuring the famous Lord of the Nazgûl, Sauron's second-in-command in the second and third age.
The evil Witch King of Angmar, riding his fellbeast, a gigantic wyvern-like creature, is ready to swoop down on the Pelennor Fields which (spoiler alert!) will see his final downfall. The city of Minas Tirith is but a mere silhouette, yet strong and mighty, the white tower of Ecthelion, siege of the throne of the kings of Gondor, standing out from the mountain background. The whole composition is a moment frozen in time before the battle begins.
The true identity of this devilish creature is unknown. Once a mortal king of men, he was corrupted by one of the nine Rings of Power, becoming an undying wraith in the service of Sauron. After Sauron's defeat by the Last Alliance, he eventually reappeared to found the evil realm of Angmar, where he gained the epithet "Witch-king" and ruled for almost seven centuries until the kingdom of Arnor was conquered.
The Witch-king returned to Mordor to facilitate Sauron's return to power, then took Gondor's city of Minas Ithil and refortified it as the fearful Minas Morgul, and there snuffed out the line of kings of Gondor too. He led Sauron's armies in the War of the Ring, stabbed Frodo Baggins on Weathertop during the first months of Frodo's venture out of the Shire to Rivendell, and at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields he broke the gates of Minas Tirith and killed King Théoden of Rohan.
Chief lieutenant and greatest servant of the Dark Lord across over 4000 years of Middle-earth history, he was a mighty war leader and an undying sorcerer of incomparable fear and dread. In his hour of triumph at the Pelennor, however, he was killed by the hobbit Meriadoc Brandybuck and Éowyn, niece of Théoden, at the end of the War of the Ring.
