Description:
This striking mid-century watercolour landscape by British artist John Steane (b.1931) captures a dramatic view of a singular sea stack rising from the Dorset coast at low tide. Painted in 1968, the scene depicts the rich geological character of the region, with exposed rock pools and seaweed-covered ground leading the eye toward the iconic cliff formation. The painterly brushwork and careful attention to natural texture evoke the briny stillness of the shoreline, while the broad expanse of sky and distant sea horizon give a profound sense of scale and solitude.
The work likely depicts a location such as Broadchurch or Ladram Bay, both known for their sea stacks and stratified rock formations. Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its dramatic cliffs, fossil-rich beaches, and unique geology. Steane’s use of mineral-rich colours—ochres, purples, and moss greens—gives the composition both atmosphere and authenticity.
This painting is a fine example of British postwar landscape watercolour, combining natural observation with expressive form. Works from this period are increasingly sought after by collectors of regional British art and coastal scenes.
