Peaceable Kingdom, Edward Hicks

Edward Hicks was born in Pennsylvania in 1780. He is regarded as one of the finest primitive (self-taught) artists who ever lived, and is regarded as a master in creating patterns, line and form.
He created perhaps 100 or more versions of his 'Peaceable Kingdom'. The theme was based on the 11th chapter of Isaiah in the Bible. The people in the painting are William Penn and his following making a treaty with the Indians for the land on which Philadelphia was to be built.
