"Silver Springs" is a 1910 painting by American artist Arthur Bowen Davies. This work is a prime example of Davies's "mysterious and dreamlike" style, which characterized his artistic practice. This painting is known for its subtle landscape, which includes two figures in the foreground on the right. The soft hues and ethereal atmosphere are characteristic of Davies's Symbolist approach. The landscape, with its distant castle, water, and mountains, suggests a place of beauty and tranquility. The figures in the foreground seem to be lost in their thoughts as they gaze out at the beautiful surroundings.
