EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Hicks' "Peaceable Kingdom" a masterpiece that captures the essence of harmony and unity. Painted between 1830-32, this oil on canvas artwork measures 45.4 x 60.6 cm and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Inspired by Quaker beliefs and biblical passages, Hicks depicts an idyllic scene where animals from different species coexist peacefully. The painting's focal point is a young child leading a group of diverse creatures including wolves, leopards, lions, goats, cows, bears, and more. This harmonious gathering symbolizes the vision described in Chapter II of Isaiah: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb. . ". Notably, Hicks incorporates historical context into his work by representing the shattered tree trunk as a metaphor for the severe split within the Society of Friends during the 1820s. Additionally, he pays homage to William Penn's treaty with Native Americans in 1682 – an important event in American history. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details reminiscent of primitive art styles prevalent during colonial America, this painting evokes feelings of nostalgia for early settlers' way of life while promoting peace among all living beings. Edward Hicks' "Peaceable Kingdom" continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless message: that despite our differences or conflicts we may face as humans or even among ourselves; there is always hope for harmony if we choose understanding over discord.
