John Scarlett Davis, or Davies, was an English landscape, portrait and architectural painter, and lithographer.

John Scarlett Davis was born above his father’s clockmakers shop in the High Street, Leominster.[1]

From an early age he showed talent as a painter and went to London for further training.

He later travelled extensively in this country and Europe producing portraits and landscapes, but his life was dogged by financial troubles and he died aged just 41.
