Scottish Post-Impressionist painter Samuel John Peploe (1871-1935). Because he was born into a family of bankers, he was able to study at the prestigious Royal Scottish Academy and then at the Académie Julian in Paris. During the first 10 years of the 20th century, he lived in Paris, where he deepened his artistic skill at painting still lifes. As he himself said, his largest painting inspirations were Vincent Van Gogh and Rembrandt. He died in Edinburgh.
