The Art of Edward HicksSeptember 2020 to present
Perhaps the most beloved of 19th-century American folk artists, Edward Hicks is known for his paintings of the Peaceable Kingdom. Four of these iconic images are on view, showing with lions, wolves, cows, lambs and children peacefully coexisting. This exhibition explores Hicks' life and art through objects from the Foundation's remarkable collection, home to the largest body of his works in the world. Along with the Peaceable Kingdoms are farm scenes from Hicks' native Bucks County, Pennsylvania, natural wonders such as Niagara Falls, and depictions of notable historic events such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
This exhibition was made possible through the generosity of the Steven and Sheila Miller Foundation.
