Swords into Plowshares Koenig, Peter 20th Century
This painting is a modern imagining of Isaiah 2:4: “He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”
Several people break guns in half while others shove guns into a large furnace. One person is attempting to break a sword. Meanwhile, some figures are doing the farming and one woman is bringing food to the workers. In this beautiful piece, we are inspired to imagine a world where there will be no more war—a desire shared by many people across space and time.
