The Peaceable Kingdom and Pennas Treaty, 1845
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edward Hicks that measures 61.6x78.7 cm. Displayed at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA, this artwork depicts an iconic moment in history when Quaker William Penn made a treaty with the Native Americans in 1682. Inspired by Chapter II of Isaiah from the Bible, Hicks beautifully portrays a scene where animals traditionally considered enemies coexist harmoniously. A wolf dwells peacefully with a lamb while a leopard lies down beside a kid. Even more astonishingly, a little child leads them all. The cow and bear feed together as their young ones rest nearby, and even the lion eats straw like an ox. Hicks was so moved by this biblical vision of peace that he created over 60 versions of "The Peaceable Kingdom". Through his naive style of painting, he captures not only the idyllic landscape but also conveys the hope for unity among different species and cultures. This painting serves as both historical documentation and symbolic representation of early settlers' desire for peaceful coexistence with Native Americans in colonial America. It reflects the values of harmony, respect for nature, and peaceful negotiation that were crucial to building relationships between European settlers and indigenous peoples. "The Peaceable Kingdom and Pennas Treaty" stands as an enduring testament to humanity's yearning for peace across time and cultures—a timeless reminder that through understanding and compassion we can create a world where no harm or destruction exists on our holy mountain.
