"The Silver Apples of the Moon" is a notable gesso panel created by Scottish artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864–1933). Margaret Macdonald, along with her husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh, her sister Frances, and Frances' husband Herbert MacNair, formed a collaborative group known as "The Four" or the "Glasgow School," which played a significant role in the development of the Art Nouveau movement in the United Kingdom.

Completed in 1912, "The Silver Apples of the Moon" is a fine example of Macdonald's distinctive style, which often incorporated feminine forms, nature motifs, and symbolic elements. The work is characterized by its ethereal quality and the innovative use of materials, such as metal foils, beads, and threads, which add texture and depth to the composition. The title of the piece is likely derived from W.B. Yeats' poem "The Song of Wandering Aengus," which speaks of a mystical quest and contains the line "The silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun."

Macdonald's contribution to the Glasgow Style and Art Nouveau is often overshadowed by that of her husband, but her work has gained recognition for its unique aesthetic and influence on European art. "The Silver Apples of the Moon" is considered one of her masterpieces and reflects her ability to blend decorative art with fine art, creating pieces that are both visually captivating and rich in symbolism.

The panel is held in a public collection, allowing for its appreciation by a wide audience and contributing to the understanding of Macdonald's role in the art world of her time. As a leading figure among female artists in the early 20th century, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh's work, including "The Silver Apples of the Moon," continues to be studied and celebrated for its originality and artistic significance.
