Scottish Colourist paintings reunited after more than 70 years ahead of auction
Paintings by two Scottish Colourists are to go under the hammer in a 'friends reunited' moment this week after more than 70 years apart. Samuel John Peploe's Firs At The Massif des Calanques, Cassis was displayed alongside Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell's Interior – Santa Maria della Salute, Venice at an exhibition in Edinburgh in 1949. They will feature in Lyon & Turnbull's Scottish paintings and sculpture auction on Thursday, with each estimated to fetch between £80,000 and £120,000. Firs At The Massif des Calanques, Cassis was painted in 1928 during the third of four trips Peploe made to the French port during a period of more than 25 years. Cadell painted the interior of Santa Maria della Salute, a church which stands at the entrance to the Grand Canal, following a visit he made to Venice in 1910. Both paintings featured in the Scottish Colourists exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy's Festival Exhibition in 1949, where work by their friend Leslie Hunter was also on show. Alice Strang, senior specialist with Lyon & Turnbull and an expert in the work of the Scottish Colourists, said: 'This is a 'friends reunited' moment. 'It is thrilling to think that the last time these two beautiful paintings, by artists who were such good friends, were in the same room was in 1949, when they were exhibited together in the Royal Scottish Academy, down the road from our saleroom. 'The Peploe transports us to the heat of Cassis, whilst the Cadell takes us to the beauty of Venice. 'Their remarkable reunion will last until the sale day this Thursday.'

Scottish Colourist painting sells for more than £381,000 at auction
A 'masterful' painting by Scottish Colourist Samuel John Peploe which once hung in his patron's drawing room has sold for more than £381,000 at auction. Roses In A Green Jug went under the hammer in the Scottish art sale at Bonhams in Edinburgh on Wednesday. It sold for £381,400 including buyer's premium, above the estimate of £250,000-£350,000. Paintings by fellow Scottish Colourist Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell and by the late Jack Vettriano also featured in the sale. PA Media Pendine Beach (Study) by Jack Vettriano sold for £44,800. PA Media Peploe once characterised his career as a search for the perfect still life, and was influenced by his time in Paris from 1910-12 where he studied the work of Post-Impressionist masters. Major Ion R Harrison, a Scottish shipping magnate, first encountered Peploe's work at an exhibition in Glasgow in the 1920s and soon became a close friend and patron of the painter and the Scottish Colourists. May Matthews, managing director of Bonhams Scotland, said: 'Peploe's Roses In A Green Jug is a masterful execution of composition and colour, taking inspiration from Paul Cezanne and French Post-Impressionism, while maintaining the artist's distinctive individual style. 'Peploe's still lifes were meticulously planned and executed, creating the dialogue between object and space for which he and his fellow Colourists were renowned. PA Media The White Strand by Scottish Colourist Samuel John Peploe fetched £74,060. PA Media 'The work has a remarkable provenance, having once hung in the drawing room of Croft House owned by Ion R Harrison, a notable patron of the Scottish Colourists.' Roses In A Green Jug can be seen hanging in the background of Cadell's Portrait Of Mrs Ion R Harrison of 1932. Six works by Vettriano, who died earlier this year, also went under the hammer. Pendine Beach (Study), which was painted in 1996, sold for £44,800, including buyer's premium, above the estimate of £20,000-£30,000. The painting once hung in the late Sir Terence Conran's Bluebird restaurant in London, after he bought the picture in 1996, Bonhams said. A selection of landscapes of the island of Iona were also sold. They included Peploe's paintings of The White Strand, Iona, which went for £74,060. All prices included buyer's premium.

Male crabs of a species named after David Hasselhoff grow bigger claws than females so they can fight each other for a mate. Scientists from the universities of Portsmouth and Southampton have discovered the difference in claw size while monitoring the 'Hoff crab', which gained its nickname because of its hairy chest, prompting comparisons with the Baywatch star.
