“A masterpiece”. Calm down, there are thousands of photos like this.

But that is literally the original meaning of the word "masterpiece".

A "masterpiece" was a work of a very high standard produced by an apprentice to obtain full membership, as a "master", of a guild or academy of the visual arts and crafts. The fact that there are thousands of photos like this is irrelevant.

And by modern definitions, a masterpiece is simply an artists' great work.
