The Magpie, painted in 1869 near Etretat in Normandy. Some believe that this was the first Impressionist painting, created five years before the movement was named. This painting focuses on a single magpie siting on a fence set in a cold winter setting. While Monet successfully captured life's reality in many of his works, his aim was to analyze the ever-changing nature of color and light. Known as the classic Impressionist, Monet cannot help but inspire deep admiration for his talent in those who view his work. This work of art has the same emotions and beauty as the original.
