Henry Easom Davies b. 1831

Also known as Henry Easom Davis, Henry Cassom Davies, Henry Esam Davies, Henry Casson Davies, Davis
  • Artist (Painter)
Considered by contemporary critics to be a 'poet-painter' of colonial subjects. His Turner-esque technique nevertheless came to be considered overly stylised which may explain why, despite his contemporary reputation, he is not more widely recognised today.
