Professionel montering er påkrævet – dette er ikke et gør-det-selv produkt.
Sættet skal samles, og lærredet skal opspændes af en erfaren professionel indrammer ved brug af trælim (ikke medfølger), en lærredsspænder og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer. Forkert samling eller ujævn spænding af lærredet kan beskadige kunstværket permanent og er ikke dækket af vores garanti.
Alle massive trælister er inkluderet, præcist tilpasset i størrelsen.
Samles med de medfølgende skruer samt trælim til hjørneforbindelserne, som ikke medfølger og skal anskaffes af din indrammer.
Professionelt værktøj er påkrævet og medfølger ikke: en lærredsstrækker (spændetang) og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer.
Vigtigt:
Hjørneforbindelserne kræver trælim, listerne skal holdes fast med skruetvinger, indtil limen er helt tør, og opspænding af lærredet på den samlede ramme kræver en lærredsspænder. Ingen af disse dele er inkluderet i sættet. Vi anbefaler, at du kontakter en erfaren professionel indrammer, før du bestiller denne størrelse.

A Sanctuary of Harmony: Edward Hicks’s “Peaceable Kingdom”
Edward Hicks' "Peaceable Kingdom" (circa 1826) isn’t merely a painting; it’s an immersive tableau, a visual sermon rendered in oil on canvas. At first glance, the scene unfolds as a pastoral idyll – a vibrant meadow dotted with animals of every kind: majestic horses, playful lambs, watchful wolves, and even a cautious tiger, all coexisting peacefully alongside humans. Yet, beneath this surface serenity lies a profound meditation on faith, community, and the enduring hope for reconciliation. Hicks, a devout Quaker minister deeply influenced by Isaiah’s prophecy of a future world free from strife, sought to translate this spiritual ideal into a tangible image, inviting viewers to contemplate their own role in fostering such harmony.
The painting's genesis is rooted in the burgeoning American landscape and the complex realities of early colonial life. Hicks, born in Pennsylvania during a period marked by conflict between settlers and Native Americans, was acutely aware of the tensions inherent in this new nation. His Quaker faith emphasized simplicity, equality, and peaceful coexistence – principles that directly challenged the prevailing narratives of conquest and domination. “Peaceable Kingdom” isn’t a romanticized depiction of nature; it's an active striving for a better world, a deliberate assertion of values against the backdrop of historical discord.
The Language of Symbolism: Animals as Messengers
Hicks masterfully employs symbolism to convey his message. The central figures – a young boy holding a lion cub and a woman tending sheep – are instantly recognizable archetypes representing innocence, compassion, and stewardship. The lion, traditionally a symbol of power and aggression, is rendered docile in the child’s embrace, suggesting the potential for gentleness even within the most formidable creatures. The presence of wolves, often associated with danger, alongside the lambs underscores Hicks' belief that even enemies can find common ground. Each animal, carefully chosen and meticulously painted, carries a specific weight of meaning, contributing to the painting’s layered narrative.
Beyond the individual animals, the inclusion of Native Americans – depicted in dignified attire and engaged in peaceful activities – is particularly significant. Hicks deliberately avoids stereotypical representations, portraying them as equals within this imagined Edenic landscape. The boat on the horizon, a recurring motif in Hicks’s work, symbolizes hope and transition, suggesting a journey towards a more just and equitable future. The carefully arranged composition, with its balanced distribution of figures and elements, reinforces the painting's central theme: a world where all beings can thrive together.
A Quaker Aesthetic: Technique and Texture
Hicks’s distinctive style is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a warm, inviting palette. He employed a technique known as “grisaille,” using shades of gray to establish the forms and values before adding color. This approach allowed him to build up layers of paint gradually, creating a rich, textured surface that invites close inspection. The brushstrokes are generally smooth and deliberate, reflecting Hicks’s training as a decorative painter – a skill he skillfully adapted to his religious subject matter.
Notably, Hicks' work moved away from the purely utilitarian style of Quaker crafts, embracing a more expressive and emotionally resonant approach. He wasn’t simply creating functional objects; he was communicating profound spiritual truths through visual imagery. The slightly flattened perspective and idealized forms are characteristic of American folk art, yet they possess a unique charm and sincerity that transcends mere imitation.
A Legacy of Peace: Owning a Piece of History
“Peaceable Kingdom” remains a powerful testament to the enduring appeal of Hicks’s vision. Reproductions offer an accessible way to experience this iconic artwork, bringing its message of harmony and reconciliation into contemporary homes. When selecting a reproduction, consider the quality of materials and the artist's interpretation – ensuring that it captures the essence of Hicks’s original intent. More than just a decorative piece, “Peaceable Kingdom” is an invitation to contemplate our own capacity for compassion and to strive towards a world where peace reigns supreme.
