No well-known Baptismal representations by old world masters employ the unique compositional layout that Curry favors.

After Haiti gained its independence from France in 1804, the pro-slavery Southern US worried that would influence slaves in the US, and the U.S. refused to recognize Haiti's subsequent independence until 1862.
