ANTHONY BLUNT

Anthony Frederick Blunt was born on September 26, 1907, in Bournemouth, Hampshire, England. While a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, in the 1930s Blunt became a member of a circle of disaffected young men that included Guy Burgess, and he was soon involved in espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union. His public career was brilliant. From 1937 he published scores of scholarly papers and books by which he largely established art history in Great Britain. He was an authority on 17th-century painting, particularly that of Nicolas Poussin. During World War II he served in MI5, a military intelligence organization, and was able to supply secret information to the Soviets and, more importantly, to give warning to fellow agents of counterintelligence operations that might endanger them.
