EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the biblical love story of Ruth and Boaz. Translated by J. C. Mardrus, this enchanting scene depicts Ruth resting at the feet of Boaz, beautifully brought to life through François-Louis Schmied's colored engraving in 1930. In this profound tale, Ruth proposes to Boaz as she believes he is obligated to marry her as her late husband's nearest kin. In response, Boaz invites her to lie at his feet, symbolizing both vulnerability and trust. The image exudes a sense of religious devotion while also hinting at an underlying seductive tone. The artist skillfully portrays the emotions and complexities within this biblical narrative. Through meticulous details and delicate strokes, Schmied creates an atmosphere that evokes both romance and spirituality simultaneously. Ruth et Booz is not only a story about love but also explores themes of loyalty, faithfulness, and redemption found in the Old Testament. This powerful visual representation serves as a reminder of the enduring power of these ancient tales and their relevance in contemporary times. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in Switzerland, this exquisite print holds historical significance beyond its artistic beauty. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with religious stories throughout centuries—a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers with its intricate storytelling ability.
