It’s Shark Week in America, which, for the uninitiated, is an annual programming block on the Discovery Channel that was originally devoted to “conservation efforts and correcting the kinds of misconceptions about sharks that Jaws helped to spread.” It airs evert summer, a time when the public’s fear of beachside shark attacks is at its heights.

In honor of the wildly popular phenomenon—it is the longest-running cable TV programming event ever—we rounded up some of the best artworks of the fearsome fish. From John Singleton Copley’s dramatic portrayal of a young man’s torturous battle to free himself from the animal’s clutches to Damien Hirst’s infamous tiger shark, here are our favorites.
