Story

Nude figures gather beside a river while a fortified castle rises in the distance, set beneath a golden twilight sky streaked with green clouds. The composition balances the human forms against the ancient architecture, uniting them under the same glowing atmosphere. Arthur Bowen Davies painted this scene in oil on wood panel in 1895. Davies, who lived from 1862 to 1928, worked as an American painter associated with the Ashcan School.
