EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Ruth Gleaning in the Field of Boaz" transports us back to a biblical scene from the 19th century. The image depicts Ruth, a Moabite widow, diligently gleaning amongst the cornfields. Her beauty and grace catch the attention of Boaz, who would later become her husband. As we delve into this religious narrative from the book of Ruth (2:10), we witness love and marriage intertwining with faith and destiny. Through her union with Boaz, Ruth ultimately becomes the great-grandmother of King David, an important figure in Jewish history. The artist's skillful engraving captures both the physical attraction between Ruth and Boaz as well as their spiritual connection. This monochrome representation adds depth to their story by emphasizing their timeless bond that transcends color or era. In this historical context, women like Ruth were often marginalized within society due to their status as widows. However, through her resilience and determination portrayed in this image, she defies societal norms and finds favor not only with Boaz but also with God. This print serves as a powerful reminder that love can blossom even amidst challenging circumstances. It invites us to reflect on themes such as loyalty, faithfulness, compassion, and divine providence – values that continue to resonate across different religions today.
