About the piece
This 1828 masterpiece by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld depicts the biblical story of Ruth gathering grain in the fields of Boaz. Representative of the Nazarene movement, the work features clear, linear figures, a vibrant color palette—highlighted by Boaz's striking red cloak—and a meticulous attention to detail that creates a sense of peaceful, moral order.
