"Summer (Ruth and Boaz)" is a celebrated painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, created between 1660 and 1664. This artwork is part of a series of four paintings known as the "Four Seasons," which represent Poussin's interpretation of the cyclical nature of the seasons, each embodying different periods of human life and their corresponding activities. "Summer" is specifically themed around the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz, drawing from the Old Testament Book of Ruth, and symbolizes the season of harvest and the theme of fertility.

The painting depicts the moment when Ruth, a Moabite widow, is gleaning in the fields of Boaz, her future husband, showcasing themes of charity, redemption, and divine providence. Poussin's mastery in composition and his use of warm, vibrant colors highlight the abundance of the summer season, while also emphasizing the narrative's moral and spiritual dimensions. The figures are gracefully integrated into the landscape, a hallmark of Poussin's classical style, which seeks harmony between human figures and their environment.

"Summer (Ruth and Boaz)" is renowned for its classical clarity, serene beauty, and the depth of its allegorical interpretation. As part of the "Four Seasons" series, it reflects Poussin's philosophical meditations on the natural order and the human condition, themes that occupied the artist in his later years. The series, including "Summer," was commissioned by the Duc de Richelieu, the nephew of Cardinal Richelieu, and is considered one of Poussin's final masterpieces, encapsulating the essence of his artistic and intellectual legacy. Today, the painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its profound reflection on nature, humanity, and the divine.
