Royan, Charente Inférieure 1910

"Royan, Charente Inférieure" is an oil painting by Scottish artist Samuel Peploe (1871-1935) completed in 1910. The painting captures the vibrant colors and atmosphere of Royan, a coastal town in France, with broad brushstrokes and a loose application of paint characteristic of the Post-Impressionist style. The artwork features a street scene with buildings, trees, and figures, and the palette, dominated by whites, pinks, blues and greens, suggests a bright, sunny day. Peploe's use of color, particularly the vibrant hues, adds a sense of movement and energy to the composition.
