Richard James Wyatt

Richard James Wyatt (baptised 6 June 1795 at St James Middlesex, son of Edward Wyatt the elder 1757-1833 and Anne Maddox) was a sculptor born in London, England. He was the grandson of the architect James Wyatt. Wyatt studied in Rome under Canova, and was a fellow student of John Gibson (sculptor). He was a man of classical tastes, and produced a number of exquisitely modelled, especially female, figures.

Copies of his "Ino and the Infant Bacchus" are held at Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and the County Hall Chester.
