"Boaz wakes up and sees Ruth at his feet" - Exhibit with minor flaws at a reduced price



The next day… mild sunlight bathes the love scene in a friendly and bright light. As opposed to the previous theme of “Ruth at the feet of Boaz” the lovers are now naked. They appear relaxed and satisfied. From this theme that concludes his sequence on Ruth, we can already guess how their relationship will continue. After skillfully negotiating with his rival, Boaz obtains the right to take Ruth as his wife. Consequently, Ruth, the poor and widowed foreigner, outlawed by society, becomes the great-grandmother of one of the most important biblical figures, that of David, King of Judah and of Israel.
 
Marc Chagall dedicated a sequence of five lithographs to the chapter of Ruth. This is last one on the woman who became Boaz’ wife and consequently King David’s primordial mother through love, faithfulness and consistency.

Remarks: Biblical reference: Book of Ruth (3:8 et seqq.)

In 1956, the French art critic and publisher Tériade brought out a special issue of the legendary art magazine Verve, which was exclusively devoted to one of Marc Chagalls major themes: The Bible. For this outstanding issue, Chagall composed 18 full-page colour lithographs and 12 in black and white. For his "Bible I" Marc Chagall focused on characters from the Old Testament such as the Founding Fathers, the Kings, the Prophets and Angels. Four years later, in 1960, the follow-up issue "Illustrations for The Bible" was published, with another 24 gorgeous color lithographs. Since then, vast numbers of reproductions were put in circulation which are anything but original(!) lithographs.
