EDITORS COMMENTS

This mesmerizing artwork serves as a memorial to William Penn's historic treaty with Native Americans, symbolizing the peaceful alliance formed during the early days of Pennsylvania. In this enchanting scene, we see a young boy and girl surrounded by an array of majestic creatures from North America. A leopard gracefully rests beside them while a lion peacefully gazes into the distance. The presence of cows, bulls, sheep, and lambs further emphasizes the unity between man and nature in this idyllic landscape. Hicks' meticulous attention to detail brings each animal to life on his canvas. From their expressive eyes to their intricate fur patterns, every creature exudes both power and gentleness simultaneously. The artist's skillful brushwork showcases his deep appreciation for wildlife found in the New World. This extraordinary painting not only celebrates American fauna but also pays homage to William Penn's vision of peace and tolerance among diverse communities. It serves as a reminder that harmony can be achieved when different cultures come together with respect for one another. As we gaze upon "The Peaceable Kingdom" we are transported into a world where humanity lives side by side with wild animals in perfect tranquility – an inspiring image that continues to resonate today.
