Shelley's Monument in Oxford by Onslow Ford
The central feature in University College Oxford's lecture room is Ford's plaster model for a Shelley memorial sculpture. Intended for Shelley's Rome grave, funding disputes with Trelawny led to a gift to the college placed near Lord Eldon's monument. The nude drowned figure rests on a bier flanked by bronze lions, with a bronze Muse at the foot, showcasing Ford's design and expressive skill.
