Collection: Francis Augustus Silva

Silva's paintings are strongly associated with the Luminist movement, a style of landscape painting that emphasized clarity, soft light, and meticulous detail. His works, often depicting New England’s harbors, rivers, and coastal scenes, exhibit a masterful understanding of perspective and the effects of light on water. While he painted both bustling maritime scenes and quiet, reflective landscapes, his hallmark was the ability to evoke a serene, almost ethereal quality in his compositions.
