When Galactia, a 16th-century Venetian painter is commissioned by the Doge to do a mural commemorating the naval victory at Lepanto, she shocks the government by presenting war in all its horror, cruelty and suffering. Despite orders, she chooses imprisonment over changing the mural. "Scenes From an Execution" is a contemporary parable on the power of artistic creation.
