The Terrace, Cassis signed 'peploe' (lower left) oil on panel 32 x 40 cm. (12 5/8 x 15 3/4 in.)
Footnotes
Provenance A gift from Mrs Peploe Thence by family descent
Painted circa 1913.
Peploe visited Cassis at the invitation of his friend, JD Fergusson, and the picturesque town inspired a group of works which are pivotal to his development. The sun and light led to a brighter palette, and the form of the town itself to more prominent design and structure. This is a more unusual perspective for him, painted above the town and looking over the gardens to explore the visual tension between nature and man-made form.
