Slade Professor of Fine Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Slade Professorship of Fine Art is the senior professorship of art at the universities of Cambridge, Oxford and London. The chairs were founded concurrently in 1869 by a bequest from the art collector and philanthropist Felix Slade, with studentships also created in the University of London. The studentships allowed for the creation of the Slade School of Art, now part of University College London. The chair at Oxford is named after the first holder John Ruskin.
