Watson and the Shark
Artist: John Singleton Copley (American, 1738-1815)
Date: 1782
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI, United States
Description
Brook Watson had been sent to sea at fourteen; he decided to go for a swim while his ship was docked in the shark-infested waters of Havana Harbor. The painting depicts the moment when the shark is coming by for his third and possibly final attempt to make a meal out of Watson. The men in the boat were successful in harpooning the shark and heroically rescued the swimmer. Upon returning to the ship, Watson’s left leg was amputated and he was fitted with a peg leg.

This is one of three versions that Copley painted to commemorate the heroic rescue of Brook Watson.

Los retratos, paisajes naturales y los escenarios idílicos dominaban los lienzos y no dejaban espacio a las manifestaciones crudas y sin belleza de la realidad objetiva. Fue precisamente a partir de las…
