*The Istari (Part II)* portrays Radagast the Brown amidst the dense, ancient woods of Mirkwood. Surrounded by towering trees and tangled roots, he is at ease within the natural world, his presence exuding a quiet kinship with the creatures and plants around him. Rays of sunlight pierce through the thick canopy, illuminating his robes and staff, which are entwined with leaves and moss. This painting captures Radagast’s deep bond with nature, embodying his role as a gentle guardian of Middle-earth’s wild places, far from the concerns of men and cities.
