5. J.M.W. Turner’s painting, _The Slave Ship_ (1840), is one of the most famous abolitionist paintings. It drew inspiration from the Zong massacre, and Perry’s _Typhoon Coming On_ series (a video, lenticular photographs, and exhibition all share that title) is in direct dialogue with Turner’s painting: https://collections.mfa.org/objects/31102
