About the Item

Study for Ruth Gathering Wheat The Painting is monogrammed bottom left side Provenance: Notes: This is the full scale version of Ruth in Pharoah's Fields exhibited at the Royal Academy (now lost). Exhibited at the Bristol Art Museum, Birmingham UK Private Collection, Detroit, MI Description: Sir Edwin Long (1829-1891) was a renowned British painter known for his historical and Orientalist artworks. Born in Bath, England, Long displayed exceptional artistic talent from an early age. He received formal training at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, where he honed his skills and developed his distinctive style. One of Long’s oil paintings on canvas is “Ruth in the Fields of Pharaoh.” This large-scale measures 50×40″ and bears the artist’s signature. The painting portrays a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Ruth, where she accompanies her mother-in-law, Naomi, to the fields of Pharaoh to gather grain. Long’s meticulous attention to detail and his keen eye for historical accuracy shine through in “Ruth in the Fields of Pharaoh.” The painting transports the viewer to the ancient era of Egypt, capturing the attire, customs, and architectural elements of the time. Long’s thorough research and commitment to authenticity allow the audience to immerse themselves in the biblical narrative, fostering a powerful connection to the story. Long was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1870 and an academician (RA) in 1881. His pictures always attracted attention and his Diana or Christ? (1881) greatly enhanced his reputation at the time. His pictures suited the taste and appealed to the religious sentiment of a large portion of the public, and their popularity was increased by a wide circulation of engravings. He consequently determined to exhibit his next pictures in a separate gallery of his own in Bond Street, London and there in 1883, and the following years, his Anno Domini and Zeuxis at Crotona met with great commercial success. Sir Edwin Long’s artworks can be found in various museums and collections around the world. Some notable institutions that may house his paintings include: Tate Britain, London, UK: The Tate Britain houses an extensive collection of British art, including works from the 16th century to the present day.
