The Slave Ship, or Slavers Throwing overboard the Dead and Dying — Typhoon coming on. 1840
Wikipedia - "Joseph Mallord William Turner RA (23 April 1775–19 December 1851) was an English Romantic landscape painter, watercolourist and printmaker. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting. He is commonly known as 'the painter of light' and his work regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism."
