The Tame Magpie
Artist: Alessandro Magnasco (Italian, 1667–1749)
Original Dimensions: 25" x 29 1/2"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (ca. 1707–8) "Magnasco’s exuberant technique and fantastical subject matter set him apart from his contemporaries. Among picturesque ruins, people from the fringes of society gather to watch the spectacle of a man trying to teach a magpie to sing—an impossible task. This highly theatrical painting was probably executed while Magnasco was working for the Medici family in Florence, a time when he shared preferences in palette and technique with the artist Sebastiano Ricci. Though this is a finished painting, the light touch was inspired by an appreciation of a sketch-like aesthetic in the circles of both artists and collectors." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
