Description
English: Edmund Prideaux (1693-1745) of Prideaux Place, Cornwall.

"The sitter is identifiable by the coat of arms on the plinth and by his connections with the Hobarts of Blickling, where this hangs amongst other portraits of ‘Norfolk Worthies’. Although he was from an ancient Cornish family, Edmund was associated with Norwich. His father, the noted Orientalist, Humphrey Prideaux, was Dean of Norwich, and Edmund married Hannah Wrench, who came from that city.

He made a Grand Tour of Italy (probably in 1739), during which he collected a number of Roman antiquities and pictures. Afterwards, he set about transforming the interior and exterior of Prideaux Place, his large E-plan house, which is shown in the background. He transformed the grounds with garden buildings and a wilderness with serpentine paths. "
