Summary

Dover Harbour, 1918

image: A view of the white cliffs of Dover from the harbour. There anti-submarine defences in the centre of the image with

boats mooring alongside. A motorboat is heading towards the right corner of the composition. In the background there are a number of larger

ships at anchor, some of which appear to be painted in dazzle camouflage schemes.

Philip Wilson Steer (28 December 1860 – 18 March 1942) was a British painter of landscapes, seascapes plus portraits and figure studies. He was also an influential art teacher. His sea and landscape paintings made him a leading figure in the Impressionist movement in Britain but in time he turned to a more traditional English style, clearly influenced by both John Constable and J. M. W. Turner, and spent more time painting in the countryside rather than on the coast. As a painting tutor at the Slade School of Art for many years he influenced generations of young artists.
