Lightning - from San Marino (Italy) is a 1976 watercolor by Maurice Sheppard, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Maurice Sheppard painted Lightning – from San Marino in 1975–76. It’s a watercolour, not a big oil painting or print. That tells you the artist used fine brushes and quick, light strokes to catch a storm. Sheppard studied art in London. He learned etching first, then switched to painting. This work shows his lifelong habit of watching landscapes closely. Look up the artist Sheppard, Maurice.
Maurice Sheppard’s 1976 watercolor depicts a dramatic storm over a rocky landscape in San Marino, Italy, reflecting the artist’s sustained focus on natural forms and atmospheric conditions. The work was created following Sheppard’s art education at Kingston-upon-Thames and the Royal College of Art, where he studied etching under Wilfred Fairclough.
