Still Life with Benedictine Bottle and Fruit 1917

"Still Life with Benedictine Bottle and Fruit" (1917) by Samuel Peploe is a vibrant example of still life painting in the early 20th century. The composition, with its bold use of color and simplified forms, exemplifies the artist's adherence to the Post-Impressionist style. Peploe's distinctive approach to capturing the light and shadow play on objects like the Benedictine bottle, lemons, and apples is a hallmark of his work. This still life, with its everyday objects arranged in a visually compelling manner, reflects Peploe's interest in exploring the beauty of ordinary things.
