Edward Hicks: ìThe Peaceable Kingdomî
Cf. Pohl. Pp.144-146, plates 3.19-3.23
Situated Biblical narrative within the American wilderness.
Inspired by particular Biblical image; see Pohl p.144
Directly quotes West and others, and alludes to Quaker history.
Sentimentalized Christian imagery through the landscape and fauna.
Question: what message would Hicksí paintings convey to viewers? What effect does his visually spelling out Biblical narrative in American landscape have?
