About the Item

Title: Wytham Church Oxfordshire Watercolour Painting of Historic Village Church by John Steane (b.1931) Size: 9 inches (height) x 12 inches (width) watercolor painting on paper, unframed condition: Good, some faint handling marks and light edge wear Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: A beautifully rendered watercolour of Wytham Church, set in the peaceful village of Wytham, Oxfordshire. Painted in 2019 by British artist John Steane, this work captures the serene charm of this historic rural churchyard. With its soft stone walls, distinctive crenellated tower, and arched windows, the church is set beneath a lively sky of swirling blues and whites. The surrounding greenery and weathered gravestones add depth, atmosphere, and a sense of timeless English tranquillity. Wytham Church, also known as All Saints’ Church, is a Grade II-listed building with parts dating back to the 12th century. Nestled on the edge of the Wytham Woods estate just outside Oxford, the village is known for its connection to both academic life and countryside conservation. This painting reflects that balance—of rooted tradition and rural simplicity—with loose, expressive brushstrokes and a palette full of warmth and light. Whether you have a connection to Oxfordshire or simply love historic churches and English architecture, this is a deeply evocative piece. It would suit collectors of ecclesiastical subjects, regional landscapes, or 20th–21st century British watercolours.
