Matěj Čadil: Hyarmendacil II

Lähde: Matěj Čadilin DeviantArt-sivut

Kuvaus (tekijä): Hyarmendacil II, the twenty-fourth King of Gondor. At last, this picture is finished, so after a six-year hiatus, here is another in my series of portraits of the kings of Gondor. What do you think of this picture? Hyarmendacil II, born with the name Vinyarion, was the twenty-fourth King of Gondor. Vinyarion ascended the throne after his father Aldamir was killed in a battle with the Harad and the Corsairs of Umbar in T.A. 1540. Eleven years later, in T.A. 1551, he defeated the Men of the Harad and took the name Hyarmendacil II., meaning "South-victor". In its basic layout it follows his immediate predecessors, but at the same time I naturally thought to refer to the portrait of the king's namesake and predecessor Hyarmendacils I, which is reflected in the basic theme of the victorious king and also in the design of the ornamental border. The difference is that while Hyarmendacil I was depicted with the subjugated rulers of Harad kneeling in submission before him, Hyarmendacil II is depicted being raised on a shield by his own soldiers. I wrote about it in more detail in a Patreon post, so you can check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/104296649
