"Still Life with Chrysanthemums against Black, c.1912" is a notable work by the Scottish painter Samuel John Peploe, a prominent member of the Scottish Colourists. This painting exemplifies Peploe's mature style, characterized by bold use of color, strong contrasts, and a keen sense of composition. The work features a vibrant arrangement of chrysanthemums set against a stark black background, highlighting Peploe's skill in manipulating light and shadow to create depth and intensity.

Peploe, born in Edinburgh in 1871, was heavily influenced by French Post-Impressionism and the works of artists such as Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse. His time in Paris and regular visits to the continent profoundly impacted his artistic development, leading him to adopt a more vivid palette and a looser, more expressive brushwork. By the time he painted "Still Life with Chrysanthemums against Black," Peploe had fully embraced these influences, merging them with his unique vision.

The choice of chrysanthemums is significant, as flowers were a recurrent subject in Peploe's still lifes. These blooms allowed him to explore a range of colors and textures, demonstrating his mastery in rendering the delicate petals and the interplay of light on their surfaces. The black background serves not only to accentuate the brightness of the flowers but also to create a dramatic contrast that draws the viewer's eye directly to the subject.

"Still Life with Chrysanthemums against Black" is a testament to Peploe's ability to transform a simple floral arrangement into a dynamic and visually compelling composition. The painting reflects his dedication to color theory and his continuous experimentation with form and structure. Today, Peploe's works, including this piece, are celebrated for their contribution to early 20th-century art and their enduring influence on the Scottish art scene.
