it is subtle, but the lighting is rather more romantic than in the original (which obviously didn't rely on such things being done after a different style of landscape painting). But until Squire pointed it out, I hadn't realized how closely Nasmith's Rivendell resembled Tolkien's. I just had a sense that he got it more right than others for some reason.

I usually like Tolkien's illustrations best, but in this rare case Naismith

Can't say I agree, although his technical facility is excellent as usual

I meant Gandalf "entering Moria" - not "enduring Moria"
