I'll admit, I had to reverse google image search it, but this was a very fitting art selection. From Wikipedia:
The Raft of the Medusa (French: Le Radeau de la M?duse) is an oil painting of 1818?1819 by the French Romantic painter and lithographer Th?odore G?ricault (1791?1824). Completed when the artist was 27, the work has become an icon of French Romanticism. At 491 cm ? 716 cm (193.3 in ? 282.3 in), it is an over-life-size painting that depicts a moment from the aftermath of the wreck of the French naval frigate M?duse, which ran aground off the coast of today's Mauritania on July 5, 1816. At least 147 people were set adrift on a hurriedly constructed raft; all but 15 died in the 13 days before their rescue, and those who survived endured starvation and dehydration and practiced cannibalism. The event became an international scandal, in part because its cause was widely attributed to the incompetence of the French captain perceived to be acting under the authority of the recently restored French monarchy.
