He painted the city and taught LS Lowry, now Adolphe Valette is back in Manchester
Alex Reuben took a gamble when he quit selling suits in Moss Bros to open an art gallery in Manchester's Royal Exchange Arcade, aged 25 and "looking like I was 17". He has just taken an even bigger punt.
"Most were painted between 1910 and 1920 when, every summer, Valette, who was working in Manchester, would go back to France on his holidays. That is where they were created, in the small village, of Blaceret and they depict animals mostly." They include magnificent oil paintings of Albert Square, Oxford Road, Windsor and Bailey Bridges over the river Irwell, and the twinkling lights of the office building, India House.
It is an opportunity to have a piece of northern history for a few hundred pounds. An original oil painting by Valette, especially the city centre, you are talking £20,000 or £30,000.
