Peaceable Kingdom

The "Peaceable Kingdom" by Edward Hicks is a notable example of a religious painting created in the style of Naïve art (primitivism). As an American folk painter and dedicated Quaker, Hicks used canvas and oil paints to depict a harmonious scene inspired by biblical themes. His simplistic yet expressive approach reflects the qualities of folk art, emphasizing morality and peace. The painting vividly illustrates animals and humans coexisting peacefully, embodying Hicks’s deep religious faith and vision of divine tranquility.
