"The Peaceable Kingdom" is a series of paintings created by the American folk artist Edward Hicks, who lived from 1780 to 1849. Hicks, a devout Quaker and self-taught painter, produced over 60 versions of this iconic work between 1820 and 1849. The paintings are inspired by a biblical prophecy from the Book of Isaiah, which envisions a harmonious world where predatory animals coexist peacefully with their prey, symbolizing a utopian vision of peace and reconciliation.

Each version of "The Peaceable Kingdom" features a central theme of animals and children coexisting in a serene landscape. Common elements include a lion, a lamb, a leopard, a goat, a bear, and a child, often depicted alongside Quaker leader William Penn's treaty with the Lenape Native Americans. This historical event, which took place in 1683, is included to symbolize the Quaker ideals of peace and diplomacy.

Hicks's paintings are characterized by their naive style, which is typical of American folk art. The compositions are often simple and direct, with a strong emphasis on symbolism and moral lessons. The artist's Quaker beliefs profoundly influenced his work, and "The Peaceable Kingdom" serves as a visual representation of his spiritual and philosophical ideals.

The series is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical significance. It reflects the early 19th-century American values of peace, community, and coexistence. Today, "The Peaceable Kingdom" paintings are held in various museums and private collections, and they continue to be celebrated for their unique blend of art, history, and religious symbolism. Edward Hicks's legacy as a painter is largely defined by this series, which remains a poignant and enduring testament to his vision of a harmonious world.
