Louis XIV Driving his Coach in the Park of Versailles is a 1870 by Eugène Lami, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows Louis XIV riding in a golden royal coach. Three white horses pull it through a wide park. Trees line the path. The king sits tall, wearing a dark coat. The coach has gold trim and red wheels. The horses look calm but strong. The style makes everything look smooth and shiny. See how the light glows on the gold? That’s called impasto. Thick paint makes the gold pop. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint.
Eugène Louis Lami (12 January 1800 – 19 December 1890) was a French painter and lithographer.
