Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Detail of the painting "Battle of the Hornburg" by Cor Blok. Tolkien purchased the painting directly from Blok.
Author or copyright owner	Cor Blok
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: A Tolkien Tapestry Immediate source: https://archive.org/details/tolkientapestryp0000blok/page/112/mode/2up
Date of publication	2011
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Illustrating Tolkien
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Shows the exact image and visual style that prompted Tolkien to purchase the painting, allowing readers of the section about depicting the "noble and the heroic" to evaluate for themselves how well Blok has succeeded in depicting those themes, and how compatible his visual style may be with Tolkien's text (such as in the battle chapter, "Helm's Deep"). The image and text support each other, so the image has an important function in the section, rather than being "decorative". It is the only image in the section, so it is not part of a "gallery".
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	This exact image is discussed in the article. It is in copyright.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is the only image in the section 'That illustrations of Middle-earth should "depict the noble and the heroic"'. This is the only one of Blok's Middle-earth paintings in this article, or indeed anywhere on Wikipedia. It is used cropped and reduced in resolution. Since it is the only image in the entire section, it cannot be construed as part of any image gallery.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The image is already available complete and uncropped, and at better resolution, at the cited source and on the Web.
