"A Peaceable Kingdom," painted in 1832 by American folk artist Edward Hicks, depicts a utopian vision of peace and harmony between humans and animals. The painting is a testament to Hicks's Quaker beliefs and his hope for a world free of violence and conflict. The scene features a diverse group of animals, including lions, bears, and deer, coexisting peacefully with humans, including Native Americans and European settlers. The imagery of "A Peaceable Kingdom" reflects Hicks's desire for a society where individuals of all backgrounds can live together in peace and understanding.
