Louis Davis (architect)

Louis Davis (1860 - 1941) was a British stained glass artist, illustrator, and architect. He is primarily known for his work in stained glass, producing designs for churches and secular buildings throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. Davis was a proponent of the Arts and Crafts movement, and his stained glass work often featured intricate designs, vibrant colors, and allegorical or narrative scenes.

Davis trained at the Royal College of Art and established his own studio in London. He collaborated with prominent architects of his time, including Temple Moore and John Dando Sedding. His work demonstrates a strong understanding of medieval glass techniques, while also incorporating contemporary artistic sensibilities.

Beyond stained glass, Davis also produced illustrations for books and periodicals, and he designed mosaics and murals. His architectural work was less prolific than his stained glass production, but demonstrated his versatility as an artist and designer. He is considered a significant figure in the history of British stained glass.
