Veules-les-Roses by Samuel John Peploe
Description: "Veules-les-Roses" by Samuel John Peploe portrays the serene charm of this coastal village in Normandy, France. Painted in the early 20th century, the work captures the simplicity of the village's cottages and winding paths. Peploe uses a balanced palette of muted and vibrant tones to convey the soft, coastal light. His confident brushwork and structured composition create a harmonious scene that invites quiet reflection on the beauty of everyday settings.
Samuel John Peploe, a key figure among the Scottish Colourists, was deeply influenced by French Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. His study at the Académie Julian in Paris shaped his approach to color and form. Peploe’s landscapes, like "Veules-les-Roses," reflect his synthesis of French techniques with his distinct, bold style, blending structure with fluidity.
