“Lincoln’s Peace Plan” is a luminous and intricately layered work from Hunt Slonem’s celebrated dove series, a body of art inspired by themes of harmony, spiritual renewal, and Lincoln-era Americana. Rows of white doves—symbols of peace, healing, and transcendence—are interspersed with warm coral-and-ebony butterflies, creating a rhythmic dialogue between stillness and flight. The textured silver-gold background shimmers through the birds’ sculptural brushwork, giving the piece a radiant, almost ethereal depth that changes beautifully with the light.
Slonem’s repetition of form becomes a visual mantra, offering a sense of calm, continuity, and meditative focus. As dove compositions remain especially meaningful and highly collectible within his oeuvre, “Lincoln’s Peace Plan” stands as both a visually striking work and a strong long-term value piece for discerning collectors.
