📍 France
Located in the Palace of Versailles' expansive cour d'honneur, the Equestrian Statue of Louis XIV was crafted by sculptor François-Joseph Bosio in the early 19th century. The imposing bronze statue captures the Sun King in Roman attire, signifying his military prowess and divine right to rule. Best photo opportunities are in the early morning or late afternoon for soft lighting and fewer tourists. Incorporating the château's grand facade or manicured gardens as a backdrop can add richness to your shots. To capture intricate details, zoom in on the horse’s musculature and the king’s regal expression.
