Does Browning imply any connection between the art collection and his attitude toward wife?

The poem's narrative does establish a parallel between the relationship between the narrator and the art collection. The phrase ‘the fancy’ encapsulates the narrator’s attitude towards his wife, and reflects the way in which she is viewed not as an individual but as a type, representing the “ordinary” woman. This objectification is paralleled by the way in which the ‘fancy’ also describes the art collection, which is referred to as ‘The Fancy’. This parallel underscores the objectification of the wife and the art collection alike.
