Autorenporträt
Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt (1820–1877) was an illustrious British architect and art historian renowned for his scholarship in the architectural field. Born on July 28, 1820, in Rowde, Wiltshire, he immersed himself in the world of design and construction from an early age. Educated at Charterhouse School and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, Wyatt displayed a fervent passion for art and architecture, rapidly distinguishing himself in these disciplines. Wyatt's career blossomed under the auspices of his uncle, Sir George Wyatt, which led him to work on prestigious projects such as the East front of the Foreign Office building in London. His expertise extended beyond practical architecture; he significantly contributed to the academic and theoretical domains of the field. A notable work of his, 'An Architect's Note-Book in Spain principally illustrating the domestic architecture of that country' (1872), underscores his meticulous approach to studying historical architecture, where he deftly analyzes Spain's residential architectural intricacies. Wyatt's scholarship not only bequeaths a detailed exposition of Spanish household designs but also constitutes an invaluable resource for understanding 19th-century architectural historiography and methodology. His literary style often interweaves descriptive narratives with comprehensive architectural details, making his works both informative and engaging to readers and scholars alike. Sir Wyatt served as the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Cambridge and was knighted in 1871 for his contributions to the industry, leaving behind a legacy as a pivotal figure in Victorian architecture and architectural history.
