Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art

The Scottish Colourist Series: SJ Peploe. Discover beautifully composed still lifes and stunning landscapes of France and Scotland in this five-star retrospective of SJ Peploe.

Samuel John Peploe (1871-1935) was the eldest and most successful of the four artists popularly known as The Scottish Colourists, along with FCB Cadell, JD Fergusson and GL Hunter. Peploe is most celebrated for his beautiful still lifes, depicting a selection of props, including roses and tulips, which were placed in an infinite variety of combinations and painted in the studio. The care which Peploe lavished on his still lifes contrasts with the more spontaneous technique with which he created his stunning French and Scottish landscapes, painted en plein air from 1896.

This important exhibition brings together more than 100 of Peploe's most significant paintings from public and private collections and showcases a number of items from the Galleries own collection.

Admission: Adult £7.00
