Summary[edit | edit source]

This watercolour by J.R.R. Tolkien dates in all probability from the same period (1927-8) as the other Silmarillion paintings. It was published in The J. R. R. Tolkien Calendar 1974, and again in The Silmarillion Calendar 1978. Taniquetil, called also Oiolosse:, Amon Uilos, and Mount Ever-white, was the highest or the mountains that guarded Valinor and the highest mountain of Arda, "upon whose summit Manwë set his throne". In the foreground is one of the white swan-ships of the Telerin Elves who dwelt on the coast of Aman.
