Description
Spirit of Philly #2 is a recent addition to my Street series. A digitally mastered painting of center city Philadelphia. The Lenape Indians were the first to inhabit the area that today is known as Philadelphia. They were also called Delaware Indians their territories at that time being along the Delaware River Watershed.Most Lenape s were pushed out of this area during the 18th century due to European expanding colonies, and smallpox spreading.In 1681, in partial repayment of a debt, Charles II of England granted William Penn a charter for what would become the Pennsylvania colony. Despite the royal charter, Penn bought the land from the local Lenape Indians to be on good terms with the Native Americans and ensure peace for his colony.Penn made a treaty of friendship with Lenape chief Tammany under an elm tree at Shackamaxon, in what is now the city's Fishtown section.Penn named the city Philadelphia, which is Greek for brotherly love (from philos, "love" or "friendship", and adelphos, "brother"). As a Quaker, Penn had experienced religious persecution and wanted his colony to be a place where anyone could worship freely.
