Watson and the Shark

Nearly three decades after the fact, American painter John Singleton Copley caused a sensation with his depiction of the assault on young Brook Watson by an aquatic predator. Notable in the painting is the prominent place occupied by a West Indian crewmate who tosses Watson a line. The painting was likely commissioned by Watson himself, who survived the attack and went on to success as a businessman. It was viewed as an important precursor to 19th century romanticism.
