EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Hicks' masterpiece, "Peaceable Kingdom". Painted on canvas, this oil painting pays tribute to William Penn's historic treaty with Native Americans. The artist beautifully captures the essence of harmony and coexistence between settlers and indigenous people in the early days of America. In this scene, a serene landscape serves as the backdrop for a diverse array of animals. A majestic leopard calmly rests beside a regal lioness, symbolizing strength and power. Nearby, settlers peacefully tend to their cattle - cows, bulls, and sheep graze harmoniously together. This idyllic representation reflects the hope for unity among different species and cultures in the New World. Hicks' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each animal is meticulously rendered with lifelike precision. The vibrant colors bring life to this peaceful tableau while conveying a sense of tranquility that transcends time. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by eChristies Images from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of America's complex history and its ongoing pursuit of peace amidst diversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that despite our differences, coexistence is not only possible but essential for progress. This print invites us to reflect on our shared humanity and encourages us to strive for understanding across cultures and species alike. It stands as an enduring testament to Edward Hicks' artistic vision and his belief in the power of unity within society.
