Joseph Alfonso Toft (1866-1964) was a painter born in Handsworth, Birmingham. He was the seventh of nine children of the artist Charles Toft. Toft studied at Birmingham School of Art and Hanley School of Art, before winning a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London. He became a well-known landscape painter and in 1913 had a major solo exhibition at the Fine Art Society, London. He exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters from 1898 and was elected a member of that society in 1917. He also showed at the Royal Academy, Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Walker Art Gallery, and Bruton Galleries. Toft was a founding member of the Chelsea Arts Club, where he lived from 1939. His work is included in the collection of Queen Mary’s Doll’s House at Windsor Castle, and an exhibition of his work was held at Abbott and Holder, London in 1997. An example of his work is held by Hull University.
