Painting Description
"The Peaceable Kingdom" is a series of paintings by American folk artist Edward Hicks, created between 1820 and 1849. Hicks, a Quaker minister, produced over 60 versions of this theme, which reflects his religious beliefs and the Quaker ideals of peace and harmony. The paintings are inspired by the biblical prophecy in Isaiah 11:6-9, which envisions a world where predatory animals coexist peacefully with their prey, symbolizing a utopian vision of peace.
Each version of "The Peaceable Kingdom" features a similar composition, depicting a group of animals, such as lions, lambs, leopards, and oxen, gathered together in a serene landscape. In the background, Hicks often included a scene of William Penn's treaty with the Lenape Native Americans, symbolizing peaceful coexistence and the founding of Pennsylvania on principles of fairness and mutual respect.
Hicks's work is characterized by its naive style, with simplified forms and a lack of perspective, typical of American folk art. Despite the repetitive theme, each painting contains unique variations, reflecting Hicks's evolving artistic style and personal reflections on the state of society and his faith.
"The Peaceable Kingdom" series is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. It offers insight into early 19th-century American values and the Quaker movement's emphasis on peace and reconciliation. Hicks's paintings have become iconic representations of American folk art and are held in various collections, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Edward Hicks's "The Peaceable Kingdom" continues to be celebrated for its enduring message of harmony and its unique place in the history of American art.
