"Boaz wakes up and sees Ruth at his feet"


 
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.

Documentation / References: Mourlot, F., Chagall Lithograph [II] 1957-1962, A. Sauret, Monte Carlo 1963, nos. 249 and 272

ArtistsHome is a safe and affordable way to connect with the work of an artist you love (in my case Chagall). The service is of the highest calibre, from being an expert and trusted source of a range of modern works to the quality of the delivery system and protective packaging of purchased item.

A love of Fine Art reflects in everything ArtistsHome does. I have no hesitation in recommending this site and service. I hope to be a customer for many years to come.

A lovely original from Chagall portraying the biblical romantic story of Boaz & Ruth. There are 3 pieces covering their journey together. Soft & warm colours, makes this piece a pleasure to look at & admire. Simple yet direct composition in keeping with Chagall's inspiration. Lovely quality impression in good condition.
