The Grave of William Penn, 1847
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edward Hicks that depicts the final resting place of William Penn. The painting showcases a serene and idyllic landscape, with lush green fields stretching into the distance. The grave itself is marked by a simple stone monument, surrounded by blooming flowers and tall grasses. William Penn, an English real estate entrepreneur and philosopher, was also known as an early Quaker and founder of the Province of Pennsylvania. In 1682, he famously made a treaty with the Native Americans in an effort to establish peace and harmony between settlers and indigenous peoples. Hicks' artwork captures not only the beauty of nature but also reflects on the historical significance of Penn's life and legacy. The peaceful countryside setting symbolizes his vision for a harmonious society built upon principles such as equality, justice, and religious freedom. The painting's naive style adds to its charm, evoking a sense of simplicity and authenticity often associated with colonial America. Through this primitive art form, Hicks pays homage to both Penn's contributions to American history as well as his own British heritage. Displayed at Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT. , "The Grave of William Penn" serves as a reminder of our shared past while inspiring contemplation about themes such as land ownership, cultural exchange, spirituality, and peaceful coexistence among different communities.
