The Life of John Ruskin

CHAPTER VII
6/10

But the lecture on Rossetti in "The Art of England" shows that on one side at least "their parting," as Mr.W.M.Rossetti says, "was not in anger;" and the portrait of 1861, now in the Oxford University Galleries, will remain as a memorial of the ten years' friendship of the two famous men.
At Red Lion Square, during Lent term, 1855, the three teachers worked together every Thursday evening.

With the beginning of the third term, March 29, the increase of the class made it more convenient to divide their forces.

Rossetti thenceforward taught the figure on another night of the week; while the elementary and landscape class continued to meet on Thursdays under Ruskin and Lowes Dickinson.

In 1856 the elementary and landscape class was further divided, Mr.Dickinson taking Tuesday evenings, and Ruskin continuing the Thursday class, with the help of William Ward as under-master.

Later on, G.Allen, J.Bunney, and W.
Jeffrey were teachers.
