Description:
This striking and expressive watercolour by British artist John Steane (b.1931) captures the monumental rock formations along the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its dramatic geology and fossil-strewn cliffs. Painted in 1977, the piece showcases a towering sea stack and stratified cliff face above a shimmering blue sea, framed by windswept grass and ridged outcrops.
Steane’s confident brushwork and sense of movement give the layered rock surfaces a powerful sense of rhythm and age. The composition’s natural architecture—formed over millions of years—reveals the artist’s fascination with structure and erosion, as well as his technical mastery in rendering depth and vertical scale using only watercolour.
The Jurassic Coast is one of Britain’s most iconic landscapes, home to such landmarks as Durdle Door, Old Harry Rocks, and Lulworth Cove. While the exact location of this cliffscape is unspecified, the forms echo many of these rugged geological features. The dynamic sky and carved shoreline lend the painting a timeless quality, appealing to collectors of coastal British landscapes, geological studies, and expressive natural scenes.
This signed and dated piece would be well suited for framing and display in both modern and traditional interiors, especially those with a focus on British natural heritage.
