Description:
A dynamic and richly layered watercolour landscape of the Dorset coast, painted in 1977 by British artist John Steane (b.1931). This dramatic geological view captures the famous strata of the Jurassic Coast, a stretch of southern England renowned for its exposed rock formations, fossil beds, and striking topography. The scene presents angular chalk and sandstone cliffs interspersed with sweeping escarpments and sharp ridgelines—hallmarks of this World Heritage Site.
Steane’s composition expertly conveys both the monumentality and complexity of the terrain. His palette of warm ochres, dusty purples, and earthy greys brings out the natural textures and mineral tones of the land, while the rhythmic layering of lines and washes suggests movement through deep time—echoing the millions of years these rocks have weathered and shifted. The expressive perspective, with a tilted foreground ridge drawing the viewer’s eye toward the distant horizon, adds to the painting’s visual power.
Ideal for collectors interested in British landscape art, geology, or coastal heritage, this work stands as both an evocative painting and a document of one of the UK’s most geologically significant regions.
