It's #SharkWeek! To celebrate, come and see John Singleton Copley's "Watson and the Shark" (1778) (or see one of Copley's other versions of the painting at @DIADetroit and @ngadc!) 🦈🌊
Watson, saved from shark, went on to live a long life (was Lord Mayor of London!) though absent a leg. His rescue painted in 1778 by John Singleton Copley, whose day is today.
Born today British-American portrait painter John Singleton Copley.

Anglo-American painter John Singleton Copley was born #onthisday in 1738 - Singleton Coply is perhaps most famous for his portrait paintings, one of which is depiction of Richard Heber from 1782, part of the Paul Mellon art collection at @YaleBritishArt https://t.co/YyEYqDkXtA
Henry Pelham with his pet flying squirrel, painted by his half-brother John Singleton Copley in 1760. The 18th century was the golden age of squirrel ownership - and they were the most popular pet in Colonial America, lavished with golden chains & the best nuts.

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
