Description:
A dramatic and finely observed coastal watercolour by John Steane (b.1931), signed and dated 1995. Titled “Dorset Coast” on the reverse, this composition captures the raw geological beauty of England’s southern shoreline—possibly near Durlston Head or Tilly Whim Caves. Towering chalk cliffs plunge into crystalline turquoise waters, with sea stacks, natural arches, and submerged rock formations rendered in intricate detail.
Steane’s command of perspective draws the viewer along the clifftop path towards the distant promontory, where a lookout tower or folly can be seen. Human figures are subtly integrated at the cliff’s edge, providing a sense of scale against the vast, weathered rockface. The water is painted with delicate transparency, revealing patterns of submerged stone and tidal shifts beneath the surface.
This piece exemplifies Steane’s ability to merge scientific observation with poetic expression—perfect for collectors of British coastal landscapes, Dorset-themed artworks, or anyone drawn to the rugged textures of the Jurassic Coast. It balances grandeur with intimacy, geological structure with painterly softness.
Ideal for display in both traditional and modern interiors, this signed 1993 work offers a timeless view of one of Britain’s most treasured natural landmarks.
