Étaples 1906

Samuel Peploe's "Étaples," painted in 1906, is a captivating example of the artist's bold and expressive style. The painting, characterized by loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, captures the energy and vibrancy of the French coastal town of Étaples. Peploe's use of thick, impasto paint creates a textured surface, adding depth and dimensionality to the composition. "Étaples" embodies Peploe's affinity for French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, evident in the vivid hues and dynamic composition. The scene is a testament to Peploe's ability to capture the essence of a place through his expressive and energetic brushwork.
