"The Execution of Maximilian" (Harris 54) is a significant etching by the renowned French painter Édouard Manet, created in 1868-1869. This work is part of a series of paintings and prints by Manet that depict the execution of Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico, an event that took place on June 19, 1867. Maximilian, an Austrian archduke, was installed as Emperor of Mexico by French Emperor Napoleon III, but his reign was short-lived due to the resurgence of the Mexican Republic under President Benito Juárez. The execution of Maximilian, along with his generals Miguel Miramón and Tomás Mejía, was a poignant and politically charged event that resonated deeply in Europe, particularly in France.

Manet's etching captures the dramatic and tragic moment of the execution, emphasizing the brutality and finality of the act. The composition is stark and powerful, with the firing squad taking aim at the condemned men, who stand against a wall. Manet's technique in this etching is notable for its bold lines and the use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and tension. The artist's choice to depict this historical event reflects his engagement with contemporary political issues and his interest in the human condition.

The etching is part of a broader body of work by Manet that includes several paintings on the same subject, each exploring different aspects of the execution. These works collectively highlight Manet's innovative approach to historical painting, blending realism with a modern sensibility. "The Execution of Maximilian" (Harris 54) is an important example of Manet's printmaking and his ability to convey powerful narratives through his art. The etching remains a poignant reminder of the complexities of political power and the human cost of imperial ambitions.
