Hobbit Art

Any sort of Middle Earth legendarium artwork is ok. It doesn't need to be made by or about hobbits.

Please give attribution to the original artist when possible.

It is not required, but if you know, please talk a bit about the scene in the image. What's going on? Who is in it? Why is it happening? Do you like it? Why?

We see Bilbo starting out in the Shire with, I think, Rivendell in the center, followed by the Misty Mountains, Mirkwood, and the Lonely Mountain at the back.

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are all about journeys and that lends itself well to images that are montages of every point in the journey. Is there a name for this type of artwork that covers the entire journey in a single image? I'm going to stick with "montage", but it doesn't seem specific enough.

That's what I've heard, looks very funky though. I hope we get a newer version once The Hobbit moves into public domain.
