Turner

The slave ship 1840

The subject is a slave ship crossing the Atlantic, and throwing sick or dyeing slaves overboard in order to collect money from insurance companies, who would not compensate dead slaves upon arrival, but would compensate the merchants for slaves lost at sea.

This is obviously his most famous piece, but its a shame, because his other works are just as epic.

Jean Antoine Watteau

Italian Comedians, 1720

Watteau always liked painting the acting troups that came through France but his images of the sad clown Pierrot are especially sensitive. He is a comical character who always fails in love. It’s speculated that Watteau saw himself as Pierrot.
