"Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying—Typhoon Coming On," commonly known as "The Slave Ship," is a renowned oil painting by the British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner. Completed in 1840, the painting is a powerful and evocative depiction of a historical event that took place in 1781, when the crew of the British slave ship Zong threw overboard sick and dying enslaved Africans in order to claim insurance on their lives as 'lost cargo.'

Turner's work is celebrated for its dramatic use of color and light, which conveys the horror and brutality of the slave trade while also showcasing the sublime power of nature. The painting's full title, invoking both the act of inhumanity and the impending natural disaster of a typhoon, serves to underscore the dual forces of human cruelty and nature's uncontrollable energy.

Measuring 90.8 cm by 122.6 cm, "The Slave Ship" is a striking example of Turner's mature style, characterized by loose brushwork and an emphasis on the atmospheric effects of light and color over precise detail. The painting was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1840, accompanied by lines from Turner's own poem "Fallacies of Hope." The work was intended as both a condemnation of the atrocities of the slave trade and a commentary on the moral and spiritual state of modern society.

Today, "The Slave Ship" is held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It remains one of Turner's most famous and critically acclaimed works, often cited as an early example of the artist's engagement with social and political themes through his landscape and marine paintings. The piece continues to be a subject of extensive scholarly analysis and is frequently discussed in the context of British Romantic art, the history of slavery, and the development of modern painting techniques.
