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.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/436935\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - The Tame Magpie\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alessandro Magnasco","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887056167155,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (25\" x 29 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887056199923,"sku":null,"price":1217.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (16 1\/2\" x 19 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887056232691,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (20 1\/8\" x 23 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887056265459,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (24 3\/4\" x 29 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887056298227,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (31 7\/8\" x 37 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887056330995,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (38 1\/4\" x 45 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887056363763,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (45 1\/8\" x 53 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887056396531,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (54 1\/8\" x 64\")","offer_id":49887056429299,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/The_Tame_Magpie2.jpg?v=1787816838","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-tame-magpie","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
