Which artist painted the 1846 work commonly titled Noah’s Ark?

Edward Hicks painted the 1846 work commonly titled Noah’s Ark.

Edward Hicks was an American Quaker minister and folk painter whose religious and political imagery often combined biblical themes with scenes of peace and fellowship. His Noah’s Ark paintings typically show the vessel, animals approaching it, and a landscape populated by people and wildlife. The 1846 version is among the works associated with this subject.

Hicks produced multiple paintings of Noah’s Ark rather than a single universally unique image. As a result, museum catalogues and art references may distinguish versions by date, collection, or title. The question uses the commonly assigned title and date associated with the 1846 painting.

Hicks is also famous for The Peaceable Kingdom, a series inspired by Isaiah and associated with William Penn’s treaty with Indigenous peoples. Thomas Cole and John Constable were major landscape painters, but they did not paint the cited Hicks work.
