Philip Wilson Steer (1860–1942) was a British painter and one of the most important figures in the development of Impressionism in England. Trained in Paris during the 1880s, he absorbed influences from Monet, Renoir, and Whistler, which shaped his distinctive style characterized by soft light, delicate colors, and fluid brushwork.
Steer became widely admired for his landscapes and seascapes, especially those capturing the English coast, as well as for intimate portraits and figure studies. His paintings often conveyed a sense of atmosphere and poetic calm, blending French Impressionist techniques with a uniquely British sensibility.
In addition to his painting, Steer was a highly respected teacher at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, where he mentored a generation of British artists. Today, his works are celebrated as a vital contribution to modern British art, bridging 19th-century Impressionism with early 20th-century developments.
Here is a selection of Philip Wilson Steer’s paintings that reflect his poetic vision and mastery of light.
