Description: | The subject is taken from an Old Testament Bible story. Ruth and Boaz have been working at the corn harvest. Ruth, a widow, has come to sleep near Boaz, to show that she wishes him to be her new husband. The two married, and their descendants included King David of Israel and Jesus. This is probably the picture that Eastlake exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 1853. He was a leading artist of the time, and was President of the Royal Academy. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists oil paintings art men women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
