EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz. In this scene, titled "Ruth was advised to follow the harvesters of Boaz" we witness the protagonist, Ruth, embarking on her journey as a gleaner in the fields. Translated by J. C. Mardrus and published in 1930, this colored engraving by Francois-Louis Schmied beautifully portrays the essence of this religious tale. The image transports us to an ancient barley field where workers tirelessly reap what they have sown. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Ruth's unwavering faith and determination. Following her mother-in-law Naomi's advice, she joins the harvesters under Boaz's watchful eye. With grace and humility, Ruth collects leftover grain that falls from their hands as they gather sheaves. The significance of this moment extends beyond mere labor; it symbolizes hope amidst adversity and divine providence at work. Through her diligent efforts in gleaning these scattered grains, Ruth unknowingly sets into motion a series of events that will change her life forever. This engraving serves as a powerful visual representation not only for those familiar with biblical stories but also for anyone who appreciates art that tells profound narratives. It invites us to reflect on themes such as faithfulness, resilience, and the rewards found in following one's path even when faced with uncertainty.
