The Magpie - Claude Monet

This work by Claude Monet is constructed by numerous horizontal and vertical lines of force. At first glance, the snow completely covers the landscape of Etretat, however, when one looks more carefully, all the colors are visible. The light comes from the sun hidden in the fog. In this work, Monet was especially interested in the work of reflections of the snow. Indeed, it is sometimes white tinged with blue, then it becomes pink or gray. The title of this painting lies in the presence of the magpie on the fence.
