| Description |
English: Slave in chains This painting represents the psychological and physical suffering endured by enslaved Africans on board ships during the Middle Passage. Focusing on this aspect of transatlantic slavery was a tactic employed by European abolitionists who attempted to evoke sympathy for enslaved Africans and their plight through images and evidence of the misery of the Middle Passage. |
