18. Selected image: page 15. Source: Chapman, John Gadsby. "Pocahontas Saving the Life of Captain John Smith." 1836. (William M. S. Rasmussen and Robert S. Tilton, Pocahontas: Her Life and Legend. Richmond: Virginia Historical Society, 1994. 15.) Rasmussen and Tilton note that Chapman anticipated (by almost a decade -- see 1842) Simms's suggestions for painting the rescue scene. "As in a scene by Caravaggio of the martyrdom of a saint, Chapman silhouettes Pocahontas against a cloud of white smoke and bathes her in light. The smoke and light seem to sanctify her."
