The Battle of the Hornburg - Lord of The Rings by Alan Lee (1976)

"The Battle of the Hornburg" (also known as "The Battle of Helm's Deep") is a classic 1976 fantasy illustration created by the Brothers Hildebrandt (twin brothers Greg and Tim Hildebrandt) for Ballantine Books' famous 1977 J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar. The painting depicts King Théoden of Rohan, alongside Aragorn and his warriors, leading a ferocious dawn cavalry sally out of the fortress gates directly into the dense horde of Saruman's Uruk-hai and Orcs during the climax of the Battle of Helm's Deep from "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers". Rendered in the artists' signature dynamic, brightly lit, and meticulously detailed acrylic style, it remains one of the most iconic and recognizable visual interpretations of Tolkien's Middle-earth.
