One of the most influential figures in his life and career was his close friend, and later President of The Royal Academy, Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830-1896).
Known for his grand classical pictures such as Flaming June, Leighton also produced enigmatic plein air landscapes and the collection includes three views of the 16th century Lindisfarne Castle, on Holy Island which Leighton gave to Cockerell while staying with him nearby.
