His home was shared by the painter George Frederick Watts and the Little Holland House salon. His mother was a sister of the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and Maria Jackson (née Pattle), grandmother of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenry and Sara Prinsep returned to England in 1843. They settled in 1851 at Little Holland House, and made it a centre of artistic society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValentine first studied with George Watts and travelled with him in 1856–57 to Sir Charles Thomas Newton's excavation of Halicarnassus. Valentine then went to Charles Gleyre's atelier in Paris. There, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Edward Poynter, and George du Maurier were among his fellow students. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinsep was a close friend of John Everett Millais, and of Burne-Jones, with whom he travelled further in Italy. He had a share with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and others in the decoration of the hall of the Oxford Union. With other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, he taught at the Working Men's College during the mid-19th century. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1862 with his Bianca Capella, his first picture, which attracted notice as a portrait (1866) of General Gordon in Chinese costume. Prinsep lent the costume to Millais who used it in his own painting Esther.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1862 to his death Prinsep was an annual exhibitor at the Royal Academy. He was elected A.R.A. in 1879 and R.A. in 1894. His marriage in 1884 to Florence Leyland, daughter of Frederick Richards Leyland and 23 years his junior, made Prinsep a wealthy man, and he became a company director and landowner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was an enthusiastic volunteer and one of the founders of the Artists Rifles in 1859.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinsep died at Holland Park, west London in 1904, and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"prinsep-valentine-1838-1904-leonora-di-mantua-1878","title":"Prinsep, Valentine (1838-1904) - Leonora di Mantua 1878","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeonora di Mantua by Valentine Prinsep is a portrait of an imaginery Italian Renaissance heroine, possibly a member of the Gonzaga family, the great dynasty who dominated the Italian city of Mantua in the 15th - 17th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in jpeg format, that is 600dpi and 4500 pixels wide by 6126 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/prinsep-valentine\" title=\"Valentine Prinsep\"\u003eValentine Prinsep\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50795254579530,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Prinsep_Valentine_1838-1904_-LeonoradiMantua1878_main.jpg?v=1747051938"},{"product_id":"prinsep-valentine-1838-1904-study-of-a-girl-reading-c-1860s-70s","title":"Prinsep, Valentine (1838-1904) - Study of a Girl Reading c.1860s-70s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis elegant portrait of a girl reading is remarkable for its simplicity and for the striking colour scheme\u003cspan\u003e.
