"The Execution of Maximilian" is a series of paintings by Édouard Manet, created between 1867 and 1869, that depict the execution by firing squad of Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. The event took place on June 19, 1867, after Maximilian's capture during the Mexican Revolution. Manet, who was deeply affected by the political implications and the international reactions to the execution, produced at least five versions of the scene, varying in size and detail, but all sharing the same theme of the tragic event.

The paintings are significant for their historical context and for marking a shift in Manet's work towards a more politically engaged form of painting. They are considered a precursor to his later, more overtly political works. The series is also noted for its stark portrayal of the execution and its departure from the traditional heroic or romanticized depictions of death. Manet's use of a contemporary event, the simplification of forms, and the emphasis on the harsh reality of the scene were innovative for the time and signaled a move towards modernism.

The most well-known of the series is the version that resides in the Kunsthalle Mannheim, Germany. This painting, along with the others in the series, has been extensively analyzed for its composition, which draws on Goya's "The Third of May 1808" and other historical sources, as well as for its political commentary. The fragmented history of the paintings' ownership and the incomplete state of some of the versions have also been subjects of interest among art historians.

Manet's "The Execution of Maximilian" remains a powerful political statement and a poignant reminder of the role of art in documenting and responding to historical events. Its stark realism and engagement with contemporary politics set it apart from many of the other works of its time and have cemented its place as a significant work in the oeuvre of Édouard Manet and in the history of 19th-century French painting.
