The Execution of the Inca Emperor, Atahuallpa, at the Stake, Ordered by Francisco Pizarro.
Description
Francisco Pizarro (1475-1541) was the Spanish conqueror of Peru. Pizarro used surprise, terror and treachery to exploit the divisions among the Incas, who, at the time, were split over a disputed succession between Atahuallpa and his half-brother, Huescar. On Pizarro's orders the Spaniards suddenly fell on the Incas. Atahuallpa was released, so that he could kill Huescar, then imprisoned again. In 1533, after becoming a Christian, Atahuallpa was strangled and burned.

After the artist's death the canvas was cut up into smaller fragments, some of which were sold separately. Edgar Degas eventually purchased all the surviving fragments and reassembled them on a single canvas. A sketch for a group of soldiers, formerly in the Gallery and now in the British Museum, was once thought to have been made in preparation for this work, but its attribution to Manet is no longer certain.
