This artwork shows the coronation of Aragorn with Gimli, Legolas, Faramir and a couple of Hobits as witnesses. There’s lilies above in the marginalia as a sign of grace.

This is the proper way of how a leader should come to power: not by striving to it, but being the type of person that people freely put themselves in charge. Instead of rightfully claiming the throne of Gondor as Isildur’s heir, Aragorn chose the path of humility by becoming a wanderer in the wild who’s selflessly protecting the weak without even their acknowledgement and praise. Like Christ, Aragorn was a hidden king. He was a warrior, a healer, a man with authority to whom even the spirits obeyed. After his triumph over Sauron’s forces he did not enter Gondor as a Roman emperor would, but stayed outside the city, only to be invited to rule by his people. He was a righteous and wise king who recognised that power comes from above, which is why the story has him being coronated by Gandalf. Good leaders understand that being a ruler means they’re also a servant.
