Peaceable Kingdom
by Trudi Doyle
Title
Peaceable Kingdom
Artist
Trudi Doyle
Medium
Painting - Watercolour
Description
Metaphorical watercolour painting of organic shapes and forms, depicting humans and animals, flora and fauna, transcending physical barriers and differences, living together in peace and harmony. Besides many birds and human images if you look closely you will find fish, a fox, a hare, a sea horse, an owl.
The most famous of "Peaceable Kingdom "paintings were produced by American folk painter Edward Hicks ( 1780 -1849) a distinguished minister of the Society of Friends, who became a Quaker icon because of his paintings. Hicks depicted humans and animals to represent the idea of breaking down differences between individuals to working and living together in peace.
Many of his paintings continue this concept with depictions of Native Americans meeting the settlers of Pennsylvania.
