The Peaceable Kingdom
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edward Hicks, created between 1816 and 1818. This enchanting artwork, measuring 47.6 x 59.7 cm, can be found at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The painting depicts a harmonious scene inspired by the biblical passage from Chapter II of Isaiah: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them". In this idyllic setting, American Indians peacefully coexist with various wild animals such as wolves, leopards, bears, bulls, sheep, goats, cows, lions - all under the watchful eye of a young child. Hicks' masterpiece not only showcases his exceptional talent but also symbolizes William Penn's treaty with Native Americans in 1682. The Quaker leader sought to establish peaceful relations between European settlers and indigenous tribes in colonial America. This naive painting captures both primitive art elements and colonial America's landscape. It reflects an era when early settlers traded alongside natives amidst lush forests near lakeshores. Through its vivid imagery and meticulous attention to detail, "The Peaceable Kingdom" evokes feelings of tranquility while reminding us of humanity's potential for harmony among diverse cultures and wildlife. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images today, let us appreciate its timeless message of peace that resonates across generations.
