Monet painted his "Magpie" in the open air, which translates as "in the open air", outside, in natural light. He wrote what he saw: snow playing in the sun with all colors and blue shadows. The blue color of his shadows on the snow has caused a lot of controversies. Thanks to this blue color, there is a sharp reality in this image. But in the 1860s, all shadows in artwork were black. In fact, the Paris Salon believed that this was a kind of rule. They rejected this realistic winter landscape. The eminent Salon gave only one reason - the shadows "should" be black. Monet's are pale blue. It was for them. Fortunately for us, Monet knew better than to hide the Magpie because of this unreasonable refusal.
