Question

A 2003 painting by Kerry James Marshall removes one of these events from an 1899 painting as an “allegory of liberation.” A painting of one of these events depicts a future mayor of London in a pose inspired by the Borghese (“bor-GAY-zee”) Gladiator. The perpetrator of one of these events blows air from their nostrils and has inaccurate lips based on jawbone studies. The Bahamian tale of McCabe’s Curse inspired a painting in which one of these events (10[1])occurs in the foreground as a Black man looks away (10[1])indifferently. (-5[6])In a 1778 painting, the Morro Castle looms over a harpooner (10[1])in a rescue boat in a scene of one of these events in Havana Harbor. Winslow Homer’s The Gulf Stream depicts, for 10 points, what sort of event that John Singleton Copley depicted happening to Brook Watson? ■END■ (10[3]0[2])

ANSWER: shark attack [accept Watson and the Shark; accept descriptions and forms such as being attacked by a shark; prompt on being stranded at sea]
