Execution

Mark Stevens writes about Manet's Execution of Maximilian in New York Magazine.

"Between 1867 and 1869, Edouard Manet completed a series of compositions depicting the execution of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. Manet and the Execution of Maximilian unites these five works for the first time in the United States and features selected additional works that illuminate the fascinating development of this series. "

The series is on display at the MoMA thru 1/29.
