Matthew Cotes Wyatt
Matthew Cotes Wyatt is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.
Matthew Cotes Wyatt loved turning ordinary life into something grand. He started as a painter but swapped brushes for marble when a dog he knew became famous, and he couldn’t resist sculpting it life-size. His statue Bashaw, 'the faithful friend of man' (1834) is a towering hound in bronze, sitting pretty in London’s Green Park like a VIP with no agenda.
Why he fits here: Scroll to Bashaw, it’s the kind of work that makes you grin at a museum and still talk about later over coffee.
