Boaz and Ruth, c. 1853 - A Timeless Biblical Love Story Captured on Canvas
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Charles Lock Eastlake's masterpiece, "Boaz and Ruth" painted in 1853. Measuring 121.9x161.6 cm, this oil on canvas artwork resides in the Shipley Art Gallery in Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, UK. The scene depicted is from the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament of the Bible - a tale of loyalty, devotion, and redemption. In this particular moment frozen in time by Eastlake's brushstrokes, we witness Boaz and Ruth as they rest peacefully together. Ruth, a young widow who had recently arrived at Boaz's field to glean grain for her mother-in-law Naomi, finds solace under his protective gaze. As she sleeps soundly beside him with her head gently resting on his shoulder, their love story unfolds before our eyes. Eastlake skillfully captures the tenderness between these two biblical figures through meticulous attention to detail - from Boaz's serene expression to Ruth's graceful posture. The artist also pays homage to their religious heritage by adorning Boaz with a turban symbolizing his faith. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of love and faith within Christianity while immortalizing an iconic biblical scene from centuries ago. It stands as a testament to Eastlake's artistic prowess and continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless beauty.
