John Singleton Copley was an American artist who painted historical subjects, portraits and is considered the finest American artist of his generation. Copley used a Rococo technique called portrait d'apparat, a method of portraying his subject with objects associated with their daily life. Here we see one of his first historical paintings titled "Watson and the Shark", a struggle of man against nature.
