Description: | This picture of an attractive young woman has been given extra status by being associated with the Bible story of Ruth, a poor young widow. She is shown in this scene holding a few ears of corn that she has gleaned from the field after the harvesters have left. The sun is beginning to set, casting a pink glow in the sky. In the Old Testament story, Ruth married Boaz, who owned the field. Their descendents included Jesus. The artist Charles Landelle was a French painter of historical subjects. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists oil paintings art women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
