EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Summer, or Ruth and Boaz" a masterpiece painted by Nicolas Poussin between 1660-64. The oil on canvas artwork measures 118x160 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. The painting depicts a scene from the Old Testament story of Ruth and Boaz, set against a breathtaking pastoral landscape. In this classical composition, Poussin skillfully captures the essence of harvest time with his meticulous attention to detail. The image portrays workers engaged in gleaning, an ancient agricultural practice where farmers collect leftover crops after the main harvest. The corn field stretches out before them as they diligently carry out their work under the warm summer sun. Poussin's mastery lies not only in his ability to depict physical labor but also in conveying a sense of tranquility amidst hard work. The idyllic setting exudes peace and harmony while emphasizing the importance of agriculture for sustenance. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are transported back in time to witness this timeless tale unfold. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and the significance of human effort within it.
