{"title":"Peploe, Samuel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSamuel John Peploe (1871-1935)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Scottish Post-Impressionist painter, noted for his still life works and for being one of the group of four painters that became known as the Scottish Colourists. The other colourists were John Duncan Fergusson, Francis Cadell and Leslie Hunter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Edinburgh at 39 Manor Place, he was the son of a bank manager, Robert Luff Peploe (1828-1884). He left school at 14 and was initially apprenticed as a trainee lawyer to Scott, Bruce and Glover WS at 1 Hill Street in Edinburgh. Around 1889, he began studying art at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeploe studied at the Royal Scottish Academy schools from 1893 to 1894, and then at the Académie Julian and Académie Colarossi in Paris, where he shared a room with the Scottish painter Robert Brough. He visited the Netherlands in 1895, returning with reproductions of work by Rembrandt and Frans Hals. From 1901, he undertook painting trips to northern France and the Hebrides with his friend J.D. Fergusson, another of the Scottish Colourists. Inspired by the bright sunlight, he experimented with the bold use of colour, and the influence of the rustic realism of French painters is evident in his landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeploe was the first of the Scottish Colourists to have a one-man show: in 1903 at Aitken \u0026amp; Dott in Edinburgh, at which he sold 19 paintings. Alexander Reid sold Peploe's first work to America in 1905 to Charles Kurtz of the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt his second exhibition in the Scottish Gallery in 1909, Peploe adopted a new style which did not please the dealers, and all sixty paintings were bought by McOmish Dott of Aitken Dott for a total of £450. The dealer George Proudfoot offered only £50 for 22 canvases. Peploe was persuaded by his dealers to revert to his original style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1910, Peploe married Margaret MacKay (1873-1958), whom he had known since 1894.He also moved to Paris in 1910, a period which saw him concentrate increasingly on still life and landscape painting. His still-life works show the influence of Manet, with combinations of fluid brushwork, thick impasto and dark backgrounds with strong lighting. Returning to Scotland in 1912, he found that his usual dealer refused his work and Peploe was obliged to stage his own exhibition. In 1913, he was back in France with his wife and young son, painting with J.D. Fergusson and Anne Estelle Rice in Cassis during the summer. After his return to Scotland on the outbreak of war, Peploe went on regular painting trips with friends to many parts of the country, and during the 1920s, he spent several summers with Francis Cadell, another Scottish Colourist, painting in Iona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot until December 1915 did Peploe have his second one-man show: organised by the dealer Alexander Reid at his St Vincent Street Gallery in Glasgow. However, only two paintings sold: \"Town in Brittany\" to John Blyth for £12, and \"Roses, Black Background\" bought by William McInnes for £40. Reid urged Blyth to start investing in Peploe, which he did: buying 85 works between 1915 and 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn July 1926, William Burrell bought \"Still Life with Roses\" for £70 and \"Cafe and Liquer\" for £98, each from McNeill Reid at a small profit to Reid of around 6%. Also in 1926, Robert Wemyss Honeyman of Kirkcaldy began to collect Peploes, beginning with an Iona seascape for only £20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeploe was strongly influenced by French painting throughout his life. Although his work never became overly abstract, it was notable for its use of strong colour, tight composition, and meticulous execution. Influences are said to include de Segonzac, Cézanne, Matisse and Van Gogh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died in Edinburgh in 1935. Peploe's younger son Denis followed his father's career. Peploe is buried in the family plot in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeploe's 1905 painting Still Life with Coffee Pot, sold on 26 May 2011 at Christie's in London for £937,250, is one of the most expensive Scottish paintings sold at auction. The previous record for a work by Peploe was £623,650 for Tulips, sold in 2010. In October 2012, the Peploe painting Pink Roses sold for £225,000. The painting had been relegated to a spare room because the owner's wife did not like it.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"peploe-samuel-1871-1935-girl-in-white-1907","title":"Peploe, Samuel (1871-1935) - Girl in White 1907","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by the Scottish Colourist artist Samuel Peploe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 1 hi-res image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4077 pixels wide by 5661 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/peploe-samuel\" title=\"Samuel Peploe\"\u003eSamuel Peploe\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61740824035658,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Peploe_Samuel_1871-1935_-GirlinWhite1907_main.jpg?v=1777595168"},{"product_id":"peploe-samuel-1871-1935-interior-with-japanese-print-c-191","title":"Peploe, Samuel (1871-1935) - Interior with Japanese Print c.1916","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by the Scottish Colourist artist Samuel Peploe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 1 hi-res image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4572 pixels wide by 5668 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/peploe-samuel\" title=\"Samuel Peploe\"\u003eSamuel Peploe\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61740854739274,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Peploe_Samuel_1871-1935_-InteriorwithJapanesePrint_main.jpg?v=1777595168"},{"product_id":"peploe-samuel-1871-1935-tulips-and-fruit-c-1919","title":"Peploe, Samuel (1871-1935) -  Tulips and Fruit c.1919","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by the Scottish Colourist artist Samuel Peploe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 2 hi-res images in JPEG format that are 600dpi and 3948 x 4711 pixels and 5680 x 7070 pixels.
