EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BOAZ SEES RUTH GLEANING in his field" transports us back to the medieval era, specifically the 1250s. The French Old Testament manuscript illumination captures a significant biblical moment from the Book of Ruth. In the top portion of the image, we witness Boaz, a wealthy landowner, observing Ruth as she diligently gleans in his field. This scene symbolizes their fateful encounter and sets the stage for an inspiring story of love and redemption. Moving to the lower left corner, our attention is drawn to Ruth sharing a meal with Boaz and his reapers. This intimate gathering showcases not only their growing connection but also highlights themes of generosity and compassion within Christianity and Judaism. Intriguingly, on the lower right side of this remarkable artwork, we are presented with a depiction of Boaz's barley stack. This detail emphasizes both his prosperity as a farmer and hints at future blessings that await him and Ruth. The artist's use of delicate handwriting throughout adds an authentic touch to this medieval masterpiece. It beautifully captures rural life during harvest season when hardworking farmers like Boaz dedicated themselves to their crops. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into history while reminding us of timeless values such as faithfulness, kindness, and perseverance found within religious texts like the Old Testament.
