The painting "The Magpie" is one of the best of the 140 snow landscape paintings painted by Claude Monet. By the time this painting was made, several artists created similar winter paintings, which is why art historians believe there were a number of severe winters in France. Claude Monet was visibly impressed by the winter landscape. He liked to paint the landscape in his style, even if it was criticized at that time. When painting winter landscapes, the cold was made more difficult. One journalist said that he had watched Claude Monet: "It was in winter, during several days of snow. It was cold enough to split stones. We noticed a foot warmer, an easel, then a man wrapped in three coats, his hands in gloves, his face half frozen. It was Monet who was studying a snow effect. "
