James Paine

James Paine the younger (1745–1829) was an English architect, artist, and sculptor.

Life The only son of James Paine the elder, he studied at the St. Martin's Lane Academy. He also had access to the Richmond House classical collection, opened to the Society of Artists of Great Britain by his father's efforts, from 1770.

Paine appears to have travelled in Italy. His father, by his will dated February 1786, probably left his son financially independent. In 1788 he had residences in both North End, Hammersmith, and Salisbury Street. In 1791 he was one of the original fifteen members of the Architects' Club. As a monumental sculptor, he designed the memorial to William Powell in Bristol Cathedral, and other works.
