Mark Twain described this painting as "a tortoiseshell cat having a fit in a platter of tomatoes" after it was purchased by Alice Hopper and exhibited with much fanfare in Boston. John Ruskin sold this painting because of its "disturbing theme." The artist first exhibited it with his poem that ends, "Hope, Hope, fallacious Hope! Where is thy market now?" and describes "Yon angry setting sun and fierce-edged clouds." The original title of this painting references a "typhoon coming on." This painting illustrates a scene from a book by Thomas Clarkson about the captain of the Zong. In the foreground of this painting, several shackled hands reach up from the waves. For 10 points, name this J. M. W. Turner painting of a vessel on the middle passage.
