The Execution of Emperor Maximilian is a series of paintings by Édouard Manet from 1867 to 1869, depicting the execution by firing squad of Emperor Maximilian I of the short-lived Second Mexican Empire. Manet produced three large oil paintings, a smaller oil sketch and a lithograph of the same subject.
Manet supported the Republican cause, but nonetheless was inspired to start work on a painting heavily influenced by Goya's The Third of May 1808. The final work, painted in 1868–69 is now held by the Kunsthalle Mannheim. The painting is signed by Manet in the lower left corner but bears the date of Maximilian's execution in 1867 despite being painted in 1868-9.
Fragments of an earlier and larger painting from about 1867–68 are held by the National Gallery in London. Parts of this work were probably cut off by Manet, but it was largely complete on his death; other parts were sold separately after his death. The surviving pieces were reassembled by Edgar Degas and it was bought by the National Gallery in 1918, but then separated again until 1979 and finally combined on one canvas in 1992.
This painting was Manet’s last major work. It represents the bustling interior of one of the most prominent music halls and cabarets of Paris, the Folies-Bergère. The venue opened in 1869 and its atmosphere was described as “unmixed joy”. In contrast, the barmaid in Manet’s representation is detached and marooned behind the bar.
The Folies-Bergère was also notorious as a place to pick up prostitutes. The writer Guy de Maupassant described the barmaids as “vendors of drink and of love”.
Manet knew the place well. He made a number of preparatory sketches there but the final work was painted in his studio. He set up a bar and asked one of the barmaids, Suzon, to serve as his model.
The painting was first exhibited in 1882, at the annual fine arts exhibition in Paris, the Salon. Visitors and critics found the composition unsettling. The inaccuracy of the barmaid’s reflection, shifted too far to the right, has continued to spark much debate.

Édouard Manet (1832-1883) was a French painter and one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life. He was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. Madame Guillemet, her husband Jules, and her younger sister Margarita, were all close friends of Manet and she repeatedly sat for him as his model. In this portrait, she wears a black bonnet with a ribbon and high-necked black jacket.
This Manet original was seen and photographed on display in the museum exhibit entitled 'Degas, Impressionism and the Paris Millinery Trade' at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, California.

The museum doesn't allow you to take photos of works from after 1900, so I missed out on all the best things…
AnnMaree viewing Manet's racy (for its time) "Dejeuner sur l'herbe" at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. We had to wait until a large party of school kids moved on before we could get anywhere near the painting. I must admit, it's a bit confronting: a naked woman sitting with two fully clothed men, and another woman in her underwear wading in the pond behind them, in a public park setting.
