It would be almost too pretty had not the painter's temperament set upon the whole picture the imprint of its austerity." 36 XVIII. LA FEMME AU PERROQUET.
(Woman with Parrot.) PLATE XIX. EXECUTION DE MAXIMILIEN MANET had the most utter contempt for historical painting.
"What!" he said, "Trick out historical figures 1 That's a poor sort of joke!
"Does one paint a man by his shooting-licence? There is only one true thing to do, paint directly what one sees.
If it comes off, it comes off. If you m...ake a mess of it, you try again. Everything else is humbug ! " A realist and an impressionist, he was true to himself in detesting men "who shut themselves up with a costume, a lay-figure and properties " and try to call to life again the eyes that are gone.
Nevertheless he was seduced by the project of re-creating the tragic execution of the Emperor Maximilian and Generals M4gin and Ninamont at Queretaro, the story of which was at that time in all the newspapers. (1867.) He made inquiries, placed his three guns at the exact distance from the victims of the execution and painted the head of Maximilian from a photograph.
