Painting Description
"The Peaceable Kingdom with the Leopard of Serenity" is one of the iterations of the "Peaceable Kingdom" paintings by Edward Hicks (1780–1849), an American folk painter and distinguished minister of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Hicks is best known for his series of "Peaceable Kingdom" paintings, which he produced in over 60 versions during his lifetime. These works reflect Hicks's religious convictions, particularly the Quaker ideal of the "Inner Light," a divine presence in every individual, and the belief in the possibility of achieving a peaceful society on Earth.
The "Peaceable Kingdom" paintings are inspired by the biblical prophecy from the Book of Isaiah (11:6–8), which foretells a harmonious world where predatory animals live peacefully alongside their prey, and a child leads them. In "The Peaceable Kingdom with the Leopard of Serenity," Hicks likely includes a leopard as one of the central figures, surrounded by other animals and children in a tranquil setting, symbolizing the serene coexistence of all creatures under divine grace.
Hicks's work often juxtaposes this idyllic scene with depictions of William Penn's treaty with the Native Americans, highlighting the Quaker ideals of pacifism and brotherly love. The presence of the leopard, a predator, living in serenity with other animals, reinforces the theme of reconciliation and the transformative power of peace and inner light.
As a self-taught artist, Hicks's style is characterized by its naive charm and lack of formal perspective, which adds to the folk quality of his work. His "Peaceable Kingdom" paintings have been interpreted as allegories for the struggle for harmony within the Quaker community, as well as within the broader context of human society.
"The Peaceable Kingdom with the Leopard of Serenity" is a testament to Hicks's enduring legacy as an artist who deeply integrated his spiritual beliefs with his artistic practice. His works are held in high regard not only for their aesthetic and historical value but also for their rich symbolism and the insight they provide into the Quaker ethos of early 19th-century America.
