Edward Hicks
born April 4, 1780, Attleboro, Pa., U.S. died Aug. 23, 1849, Newtown, Pa. U.S. painter. He was a coach and sign painter from an early age. In middle age he began to produce paintings of farm scenes and landscapes in a naive, or folk, style.

He painted his best-known subject, The Peaceable Kingdom, about 100 times; some 25 versions survive.
