Alfred Yockney: A Collector's Paradise Step into the world of Alfred Yockney, a man with an impeccable taste for art and a passion for collecting. Known for his love of King Charles Spaniels, these Cavaliers were not only his pets but also served as muses for renowned artists like Edwin Henry Landseer in 1845. During Christmas Eve in c1915, artist Stanhope A Forbes captured the enchanting atmosphere that surrounded Yockney's home. The flickering candlelight and warmth emanating from the fireplace created a cozy ambiance that perfectly complemented his extensive collection. One masterpiece that adorned Yockney's walls was "Diana of the Uplands, " painted by Charles Wellington Furse around 1903-1904. This ethereal portrait depicted a goddess-like figure amidst nature, reflecting Yockney's appreciation for beauty and tranquility. Yockney had an eye for historical pieces as well. "The Laughing Cavalier" by Frans Hals transported viewers back to 1624, showcasing a charismatic cavalier with an infectious smile. Similarly, John Everett Millais' "Sir Isumbras at the Ford" from 1857 depicted chivalry and heroism through its stunning composition. Not limited to paintings alone, Yockney also cherished sculptures such as Henry Raeburn's "Boy and Rabbit" from 1814. This delicate piece showcased innocence and companionship between youth and nature—an embodiment of Yockney's own fondness for animals. Daniel Maclise's painting titled "Malvolio and the Countess, " dating back to c1840, added a touch of theatricality to Yockney’s collection. Its vibrant colors brought Shakespearean characters to life within his private gallery space. Amongst landscapes adorning his walls was Birket Foster’s serene depiction of rural life in "The Milkmaid" from 1860.
