Samuel Peploe

Samuel Peploe was a Scottish painter and one of the leading figures of the Scottish Colourists. Influenced by French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, Peploe’s work is known for its vibrant color, loose brushwork, and still lifes. He often painted landscapes and interiors with a focus on light and composition. His bold use of color and simplified forms helped introduce modern European art styles to Scotland. Peploe’s contributions significantly shaped early 20th-century Scottish painting, balancing traditional Scottish subjects with innovative, contemporary techniques.
