Happy #SharkWeek from John Singleton Copley, the best shark painter in the world 🦈 @mfaboston @ngadc

This grisly scene caused a sensation when first exhibited (and made the artist a fortune through selling prints of its design.) It's one of those images that still holds power today in the @ngadc gallery. Detail, #JohnSingletonCopley, Watson and the Shark, 1778. #ITweetMuseums
