About ‘The Peaceable Kingdom, Edward Hicks’
The Peaceable Kingdom, Edward Hicks (1846)
Hicks painted more than sixty versions of "The Peaceable Kingdom," a prophecy of the establishment of God's kingdom on earth, inspired by the biblical text Isaiah 11:6-9: "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." Hicks's depiction of the Quaker leader William Penn's 1682 purchase treaty with the Delaware/Lenape Indians, which ensured the future of the Pennsylvania colony, served as a historical model of a peaceable kingdom on earth.
