EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Peaceable Kingdom" was created by Edward Hicks in the early 19th century. The artwork showcases a harmonious scene where various animals peacefully coexist with children, symbolizing the artist's vision of peace and unity. Hicks, known for his naive art style, skillfully portrays a serene countryside setting filled with vibrant colors. A calf, goat, sheep, and even a lion and leopard are depicted alongside young kids in an idyllic landscape. Inspired by Isaiah's prophecy from the Old Testament about harmony among all creatures, Hicks conveys a powerful message of peaceful coexistence. The painting reflects Hicks' deep Christian faith as he explores themes of spirituality and religious symbolism. Through this piece, he emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature and each other. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this oil on canvas masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences or predatory instincts like those of wolves lurking nearby, we can create a world where peace reigns supreme. Edward Hicks' "Peaceable Kingdom" is not just an exquisite work of art; it also carries profound meaning that resonates even today.
