Jeffrey's Brewery, Edinburgh 1900

Scottish painter Samuel Peploe's "Jeffrey's Brewery, Edinburgh" from 1900 captures the industrial landscape of the city. This painting is a prime example of the artist's early, Post-Impressionistic style, marked by bold brushstrokes and simplified forms. The scene features a dark, silhouetted brewery with tall chimneys emitting puffs of smoke under a pale sky, accented by a luminous yellow moon. Peploe's focus on the interplay of light and shadow gives the painting an almost dreamlike quality, highlighting the beauty of the urban environment.
