Anthony Blunt
Anthony Frederick Blunt, known as Sir Anthony Blunt KCVO from 1956 to November 1979, is a famous British art historian who in 1964, after being asked to waive prosecution, confessed to spy for the Soviet Union. Blunt is considered the "fourth man" by Cambridge Five, a group of Cambridge-trained spies who worked for the Soviet Union from the 1930s to at least the early 1950s. He was the fourth to be spotted, with John Cairncross still undisclosed. The culmination of his espionage came during World War II, when he transferred information about the Wehrmacht plans that the British government decided to maintain with its allies. His confession, a well-kept secret for many years, was publicly disclosed by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in November 1979. He was stripped of his knighthood shortly thereafter. Blunt is Professor of Art History at the University of London, Director of the Courtauld Institute of the Arts, and Examiner of the Queen's paintings.
