"Melon, c.1906" is a still life painting by the Scottish artist Samuel John Peploe, one of the leading figures of the Scottish Colourists movement. Peploe, born in 1871, was known for his vibrant use of color and his ability to capture the subtleties of light and shadow, which are evident in this particular work. The painting features a sliced melon, a subject that allows Peploe to explore the interplay of textures and hues, from the soft, fleshy interior of the fruit to the harder, more reflective surface of the rind.

Executed around 1906, "Melon" exemplifies Peploe's transition from his earlier, more subdued palette to the brighter, more expressive colors that would come to define his mature style. During this period, Peploe was heavily influenced by the works of French Post-Impressionists such as Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse, whose emphasis on form and color can be seen in the bold, confident brushstrokes and the harmonious composition of the painting.

The still life genre provided Peploe with a controlled environment in which to experiment with color theory and composition. In "Melon," he juxtaposes the warm, inviting tones of the melon with cooler, contrasting colors in the background and surrounding objects. This not only highlights the central subject but also creates a dynamic visual balance that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas.

"Melon, c.1906" is a testament to Peploe's skill as a colorist and his ability to infuse everyday objects with a sense of vitality and significance. The painting is part of a broader body of work that has cemented Peploe's reputation as one of Scotland's most important modern artists. Today, his works are celebrated for their contribution to the development of early 20th-century art and continue to be studied for their innovative use of color and form.
