From the Artist
I loved the new Rings of Power show and especially fell for the second season. I wanted to pay tribute to the fair form of Sauron, the charismatic Annatar.
More About The Art
Annatar – The Fair Form of Sauron | Lord of the Rings Art by Michael Bielaczyc
Description:
Michael Bielaczyc’s haunting black-and-white portrait captures Annatar, the fair guise of Sauron from Tolkien’s The Silmarillion and Rings of Power lore. Rendered in a moody, evocative style, this piece explores the deceptive beauty of the Dark Lord before his fall was known, as he seduced the Elves and forged the Rings of Power. With piercing eyes, flowing silver hair, and armor etched with elegance and menace, this portrayal channels the enigmatic charisma that once cloaked evil in a veil of nobility. The One Ring floats in the foreground, inscribed with the Black Speech—a chilling reminder of Annatar’s true purpose. A perfect collector’s piece for fans of Tolkien, dark fantasy, and Second Age mythology.
