Description
This is a commissioned artwork starring one of the Barbary corsairs, North African pirates who terrorized the Atlantic and Mediterranean between the 16th and 19th centuries AD. They're most infamous for enslaving large numbers of European Christian captives, though they would also prey on Jews as well as "pagan" peoples of coastal West Africa. They even got into a couple of fights with the United States under Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the early 19th century.
