Finwe near his wife Miriel Serindeby ~steamey

Digital Art / Drawings / People

Despite Finwë's grief, and her unhappiness to abandon her young child, Míriel departed for the gardens of Lórien, to rest and regain her strength and vigour. But during her rest, the fëa departed from her body, and entered the Halls of Mandos leaving her body laying lifeless and still. Maidens of Estë took care of her body while her spirit remained in the Halls Of Mandos, so that it would not whither. In essence, she had died of free will.

I can't look at this without tears coming to my eyes. This is an amazing depiction. Thank you for painting it!

Oh!..Thanks for the kind words!

Aww poor Finwe. And poor Miriel Perinde. And here it probably all started with the tragic events. I wonder if Tolkien had someone in relationship with postnatal depression.
Nevertheless I am happy that there are pictures also of these scenes.

Yeah...their story did not end with the words "lived happily ever after". But usually after these words does not make any stories.

beautiful moment. you portrayed it very well.

Possibly the most tragic death in the book. SAD.

~steamey Feb 20, 2013

But what about the death of Turin?

~LimeGreenBunny Feb 20, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Also very sad. Actually, there are so many deaths in that book...I can't really choose the saddest. I find Miriel's death to be particularly tragic because she was the first elf to die. Because of this, I think Finwe's grief and confusion would have been nearly unbearable at this time. Your picture portrays this very well.

~steamey Feb 21, 2013

Oh..indeed, it was the first death.I am struck by its unusual, because in fact her body continued to live.

~LimeGreenBunny Feb 23, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yeah kinda weird how that worked out...
