George W. Joy (1844-1925) was an English painter known for his genre paintings and historical scenes. One of his notable works is "A Dinner of Herbs," which depicts a scene from the Bible, specifically from the Book of Proverbs (15:17), which states "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith." The painting captures a simple meal shared in love, contrasting it with a lavish meal eaten in hostility.
