It was a century of change and, from an artistic point of view, extended from the Empire painting of Classicism to the light-flooded landscapes of Impressionism. Painting styles changed rapidly, adapting to the speed of technological development. Lami lived in an epoch whose painting had the claim to achieve a high degree of reality. Detailed and realistic depictions were demanded of the artists. In contrast to previous eras, the scenes had to be atmospheric and have an emotional component at the same time. The decision on the value of a painting was made exclusively by the conservative professors of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. These were hallowed halls where the salons were held and where the success or otherwise of an artist was decided.
Eugène Louis Lami made his debut in the twenties and received the esteem of the professors. By this time, the painter had specialized in depicting battles and military scenes. He filled the large canvases with detailed knowledge of the situations. The pictures Eugène painted resulted from his wealth of experience. Extensive travels throughout Europe and to the theatres of war in the Crimea allowed him to experience the action of a battle. Lami took on commissions to recreate battles in which he was demonstrably not the observer. Many scenes appear to have a high degree of reality, but are imaginary. Lami's paintings of military scenery caught the attention of the French royal family. There were plans to turn the Palace of Versailles into a museum, and Eugène was given the honor of contributing his works to the collection, thus advancing to court painter.
The king's commission ushered in a change in the artist's life. The insights into courtly life and the contact with fine society influenced the work of the French painter. Lami devoted more time to painting the scenes that social life offered him. At the same time, the painter turned away from painting with oil on canvas and preferred watercolor from now on. His works became smaller and more lively. The painter underwent a complete transformation in his work. His world became the glittering life of the salons and boulevards. Lami captured the sparkling laughter of the soirees. He painted the beautiful dresses and the delicate décolletés. The uniforms of the gentlemen glittered and no longer reminded one of the commanders from earlier works. Lami managed to sense the grace and charm of contemporary society and depict it atmospherically. In his late artistic years, Lami reoriented himself once again and devoted himself to painting historical motifs. In Eugène world, it was glorious moments and times that he captured for posterity until old age.
