He is buried in Brompton Cemetery. He was a British oil painter of the Pre-Raphaelite school.His parents returned to England in 1843. They settled in 1851 at Little Holland House and made it a centre for artistic society. His father Henry Thoby Prinsep was a friend of the painter George Frederic Watts, under whom his son studied and travelled with Watts in 1856-57 to Sir Charles Thomas Newton’s excavation of Halicarnassus.He then went to Charles Gleyre’s atelier in Paris where James Abbott McNeil Whistler, Edward Poynter and George de Maurier were among his fellow students. After Paris, he went to Italy with Edward Burne-Jones. He visited Siena and there made the acquaintance of Robert Browning. He was also a friend of John Everett Millais. He decorated the hall of the Oxford Union along with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and others.He first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1862 with his “Bianca Capella” a portrait of General Gordon (1866) in Chinese costume. Other major paintings were “Miriam watching the Infant Moses” (1867), “A Venetian lover” (1868) and “Bacchus and Ariadne” (1869).In 1877 Prinsep returned to India and produced a huge picture of the Delhi Durbar which was exhibited in 1880 at the RA. It was later presented to Queen Victoria and hung in Buckingham Palace.His marriage in 1884 to Florence, daughter of the shipowner and art patron Frederick Richards Leyland, made Prinsep a wealthy
THE BATTLE OF COPENHAGEN (1801): A PRESENTATION SWORD FOR VALOUR almost certainly awarded to Midshipman James Proctor, the curved sword with blued steel German blade, ivory cross-hatched grip bearing silver and gilt mounts in the form of a lion's head and mane and mounted with an oval silver plaque engraved with the coat of arms (1801-1816 pattern) of King George III supporting a medal decorated with a fouled anchor; the reverse with a similar plaque engraved with the monogram "JP", probably for Midshipman James Proctor, surmounted by a naval coronet, within a garter inscribed 'Battle of Copenhagen' above the ship's name 'EDGAR'. The top of the blade signed in gilt 'J.J. Runkel Solingen', with belt and slings in a fitted mahogany box lined in green velvet, the sword 94cm longIvory submission reference: 27PA12UFJames Proctor (died before 1814), the likely recipient of this presentation sword, was midshipman in HMS Edgar, 74 guns, which led Nelson's division at the Battle of Copenhagen in April 1801. As the first ship to engage the enemy, Edgar sustained extensive damage and suffered 142 casualties including one lieutenant killed, another whose arm was shot away, and five midshipmen wounded. Among the wounded was Proctor who, given the officer losses, may have demonstrated outstanding leadership for which he received this sword, possibly from his grateful commanding officer Captain James Murray. Proctor recovered from his wound, was promoted to lieutenant and by March 1805 was serving in Spencer, 74 guns, attached to Nelson's fleet in the Mediterranean. However, with many of the crew suffering from scurvy and fever, Spencer was sent away to re-victual just days before Trafalgar. The ship subsequently joined Admiral Duckworth's squadron for the Battle of San Domingo in February 1806. Presented before the institution in 1803 of Lloyd's Patriotic Fund, this sword is an example of an unofficial presentation made on an ad hoc basis by a senior officer following an action. To Nelson's dismay, the Battle of Copenhagen was not recognised with a gold medal and, unlike the Nile, it was not widely commemorated making relics connected to the action rare.Johann Justus Runkel (1751-1808) Born in Germany Runckel emigrated to Britain as an importer of swords and sword blades from Solingen. He set up shop at 8 Tookes Court, Castle Street, Holborn where he sold swords to military officers and unmounted blades to other English cutlers including Thomas Gill. Despite fines, court cases and confiscation of blades for undervaluing imports, he was one of the most important merchants involved in the trade of Solingen blades in London and became a freeman of the Cutlers Company in 1796.
