爱德华·希克斯(Edward Hicks)高清作品《和平的王国》

作品名：和平的王国

艺术家：爱德华·希克斯

年代：1834

风格：素人艺术（原始主义）

类型：宗教绘画

希克斯受过标志、教练和装饰画家的训练，从1820年到去世，他画了一百多个版本的他现在著名的和平王国。他的艺术成就为他在宾夕法尼亚布克斯郡的贵格传教士活动提供了适度的支持。这幅画的主题，取自以赛亚书第11章，无疑吸引着希克斯和其他贵格会教徒，不仅因为它吸引人的意象，而且因为它传达的和平信息："狼也会和羊羔住在一起，豹子会与羊羔一起躺下，小牛犊和羊羔一起躺下。年轻的狮子和肥壮的狮子，还有一个小孩将带领他们。&引用许多版本，包括伍斯特的绘画，希克斯结合了威廉·潘与印第安人签订的条约的插图，这是他改编自本杰明·韦斯特的一幅流行绘画（q.v.）希克斯可能已经看出两部分组成的相似之处，因为宾夕法尼亚州引入夸克主义的宾夕法尼亚州，也带来了一个衡量地球上和平王国的尺度。

Title:Peaceable Kingdom

artist:Edward Hicks

Date:1834

Style:Naïve Art (Primitivism)

Genre:religious painting

Trained as a sign, coach, and ornamental painter, Hicks painted over a hundred versions of his now-famous Peaceable Kingdom between 1820 and his death. His artistic endeavors provided modest support for his activities as a Quaker preacher in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The theme of this painting, drawn from chapter 11 of Isaiah, was undoubtedly attractive to Hicks and fellow Quakers not only for its appealing imagery but also for its message of peace: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." Into many versions, including the Worcester painting, Hicks incorporated a vignette of William Penn's treaty with the Indians, an image he adapted from a popular painting by Benjamin West (q.v.). Hicks may have viewed parallels in the two parts of the composition, inasmuch as Penn, who had introduced Quakerism into Pennsylvania, had also brought about a measure of the peaceable kingdom on earth.
