Nasmith's Minas Tirith is much better than the Hildebrandts'.

Although here's a question: some people have expressed doubt about judging these paintings by their fidelity to the text. To me, Nasmith's white city is far likelier to evoke the emotion described in the text: the awe Pippin feels when he first sees it. Am I therefore judging the paintings unfairly? Anyway, I'm not sure the Bros. Hildebrandt's pioneering way is so impressive. It's Tolkien who described this scene in terms that made it a likely candidate for illustration, even specifyfing, as I note above, that the image drew a gasp from Pippin, the reader's surrogate.
