Andrew Jackson 1835

"Andrew Jackson" is a painting by Edward Hicks, completed in 1835. The painting depicts Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, against a backdrop of a shield with the American flag and an eagle in flight. Hicks, known for his "Peaceable Kingdom" series, captures Jackson's likeness in a symbolic representation of his leadership and the strength of the nation. The use of patriotic imagery, the eagle's majestic presence, and Jackson's stoic expression convey a sense of national pride and triumph. This painting is a prime example of Hicks' folk art style, characterized by simplified forms, bright colors, and a focus on religious and historical themes.
