Claude Monet – The Magpie (1868s)

“Monet captures the atmosphere beautifully in The Magpie. The painting exudes qualities of stillness and silence yet conveys the passage of time concurrently. The solitary bird perched on the gate provides a focal point to the snowy landscape. Its presence is the only existence of a true jet-black shade in the entire piece. The lone magpie also serves the purpose of accentuating the transient nature of life itself.

The shadow of the magpie is not a true reflection of how it’s silhouette should have been represented. This may further signify the momentariness of nature. It may have served to highlight the Impressionist intent of capturing a snapshot of moving time rather than the still-life static of the previous photographic style of art.

This artwork, The Magpie, was a pioneering piece of art at it’s time and this invited a lot of criticism. It was rebuffed by The Salon for the official art exhibition in Paris in 1869.

However, winter scenes became extremely prevalent among Impressionists with similar art being created by other artists such as Sisley and Pissarro. The Magpie has now become one of Monet’s most popular pieces and modern-day critics have claimed it is one of Monet’s best snowscapes. The original artwork can be found in the Musee d’Orsay, Left Bank, Paris.”
