1865-66 Bullfight

Manet’s trip to Spain in 1865 lasted only about ten days, though it had a profound impact on him. In a letter to his friend the poet Charles Baudelaire, he described a bullfight he attended in Madrid as “one of the finest, most curious and terrifying sights to be seen.” He made quick sketches there that informed several later canvases, including this one. Here he presented the moment of truth, as bullfighter and bull face one another; a gored horse lies dead or dying in the sand.

1867-68 The Execution of Emporer Maximilian
In 1863 the Austrian, Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, was installed in Mexico as a puppet Emporer by Napoleon III. He was dependent on the support of the occupying French army, and when Napoleon withdrew his troops, Maximilian was captured by Mexican forces loyal to the legitimate Republican government. He was executed alongside two of his generals on 19 June 1867.
The left-hand section of the canvas showing General Mejía was probably cut off by Manet himself. 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.
