Painting Description
"Ruth Gleaning" is a neoclassical marble sculpture created by the American artist Randolph Rogers in the mid-19th century. The work depicts the biblical figure Ruth, a Moabite woman who is known for her loyalty and devotion, as she gleans in the fields of Boaz, her future husband. The sculpture is a representation of the moment described in the Book of Ruth in the Hebrew Bible, where Ruth is collecting leftover grains of wheat to support herself and her mother-in-law, Naomi.
Randolph Rogers (1825–1892), an American sculptor active during the 19th century, was renowned for his classical style and his works that often drew upon historical and biblical themes. "Ruth Gleaning" is one of his many works that reflect the influence of the Italian Renaissance and classical antiquity, which he embraced during his time in Italy, where he lived and worked for much of his career.
The sculpture is characterized by its detailed rendering and the serene expression on Ruth's face, capturing both her physical labor and her virtuous character. The figure of Ruth is typically shown bent slightly forward, emphasizing the act of gleaning, with her garments clinging to her body in a manner that showcases Rogers' skill in carving marble to suggest the softness and texture of fabric.
"Ruth Gleaning" was well-received in its time and contributed to Rogers' reputation as a leading American neoclassical sculptor. The piece is considered an important example of American sculpture from the period and is noted for its artistic merit as well as its cultural and historical significance. The sculpture can be found in various art collections, including museums and private collections, and continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and craftsmanship.
As an artwork, "Ruth Gleaning" exemplifies the themes of piety, hard work, and the noble simplicity of its subject, which were popular in the artistic and cultural milieu of the 19th century. It remains a testament to Randolph Rogers' talent and his contribution to the American artistic legacy.
