Some artists not only spoke out against slavery and racism, but painted about it. Here’s a small selection of works by Turner, Eakins, Tanner, Biard and Morland.

Two notable paintings about slavery, some genre scenes of travel, and a final expedition to South America.
Official artist to an expedition to Spitzbergen, he drew crowds at the Paris Salon of 1841 with his paintings of walrus fishing and the aurora.
