The Evening Coach, London in the Distance is an 1805 landscape painting by the French-born British-based artist Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg. It depicts a view of the English countryside with the River Thames and the City of London in the distance. Stylistically it foreshadows some of the later Hampstead landscapes of John Constable. [1] The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1806 at Somerset House in London. Today it is in the Yale Center for British Art, in New Haven, as part of the Paul Mellon Collection. [2]
