James Wyatt (1746–1813) was the most significant member of the large Wyatt family architectural dynasty. Having travelled in Italy he set up as an architect-builder in London in 1768. The opening of the Pantheon, built by his brother, Samuel II (1737–1807) to James's design established him as a fashionable architect and he soon developed a large practice with many country houses and public buildings to his credit in both classical and gothic styles.
