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.
