EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we witness a poignant moment from the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz. Boaz, a generous and compassionate man, is seen bestowing six measures of barley upon Ruth to take to her mother-in-law. The scene beautifully captures the essence of charity and kindness. The vibrant colors in this coloured engraving by Francois-Louis Schmied bring life to the ancient tale. Set against a backdrop of golden fields ready for harvest, we see Boaz as a reaper gleaning the grain with care while Ruth collects it diligently. Their actions symbolize not only their commitment to their faith but also their willingness to help those less fortunate. This image speaks volumes about the values upheld in Christianity and serves as a reminder of our duty towards others. It portrays an act of selflessness that transcends time, resonating with audiences even today. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from 1930, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how compassion can bridge gaps between individuals from different walks of life. It reminds us that no matter our circumstances or social standing, acts of charity have the power to unite us all. Let this enchanting print inspire us to be more like Boaz – extending kindness and support when it is most needed – just as he did for Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi so long ago.
