Sinossi
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Religious Labors of Edward Hicks: Late of Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania
My constitutional nature has presented formidable obstacles to the attainment of that truly desirable character, a consistent and exemplary member of the Religious Society of Friends; one of which is an excessive fondness for painting, a trade to which I was brought up, being connected with coach making, and followed the greatest part of my life having been unsuccessful in every attempt to make an honest and honorable living by a more consistent business; and now in the decline of life, near my seventieth year, with a body7 reduced to a mere skeleton, racked by a tremendous cough, with scarcely breath and strength at times to breathe or walk, I should be a burthen on my family or friends were it not for my knowledge of painting, by which I am still enabled to minister to my own necessities and them that are with me, through the kind patronage of a few noble, generous Friends, and friendly people, who, in my case, practically answer that query in our Christian Discipline, Are poor Friends' necessities duly inspected, and are they relieved and assisted in such business as they are capable of?

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises the autobiography of Edward Hicks, a Quaker minister and renowned folk artist of the 19th century. Born in 1780, Hicks was raised in accordance with the strict tenets of his faith, and his life's journey was profoundly shaped by the Quaker emphasis on simplicity, humility, and a personal relationship with God. The author recounts his early years, his religious awakening, and his experiences as a traveling minister, offering insights into the challenges and joys of living a life dedicated to the service of others. The book delves into Hicks's artistic career and explores the ways in which his paintings, particularly those depicting scenes from the Bible, served as expressions of his deep faith and his commitment to promoting peace and unity.
