The Magpie (1868–1869) Claude Monet snow landscape Poster

The Magpie (1868–1869) - Post Impressionism oil painting by Claude Monet Claude Monet painted The Magpie over the winter of 1868–1869 close to the Normandy commune of Étretat. For the subject of his work, Monet chooses the straightforward motif of a solitary magpie perched on the gate. In the picture-perfect scenery, the bird appears to be in a thoughtful mindset. Against the background of trees, an icy sky, and snow-covered buildings, the contrast between the light and the shadows is stunning. Some claim that this painting, produced five years before the Impressionist movement received its name, is the first "true" example of the style.
