York Street leading to Charles Street, Manchester.
By Adolphe Valette (1876-1942).
Oil on linen, 1913.
Impressionistic smog-ridden industrial scene, depicting York Street, Manchester, looking towards an arched railway bridge spanning the street, over which a steam train is passing. Two labourers shovelling a pile of coal on the road in foreground to right, a single motor car driving along the road to left. Crowded pavements and tall buildings to left and right, a grid of tiny lights shining through the smog and steam from a large office building, possibly India House, in the background beyond the railway bridge.
York Street used to run parallel to Oxford Road between Grosvenor Street in the area of the (now demolished) BBC building and the Mancunian Way. The lighted windows are the backs of the buildings on Whitworth Street and the railway viaduct is still there. Valette has made the train very small. The resulting distortion of scale adds to the feeling that city life weighs heavily upon the foreground figures.
Adolphe Valette was born in 1876 in the industrial town of St Etienne, and came to England in 1904. He settled in Manchester and studied at the Manchester School of Art and taught there from 1906 to 1920. Amongst his students was LS Lowry.
When Valette was an art student in France, the Impressionist movement was at its height. By the end of the 19th century art galleries and collectors all over Europe were buying paintings by Monet, Renoir and others. When Valette arrived in Manchester he brought first hand knowledge of Impressionist painting with him which he was able to share with his students, including LS Lowry. ‘Forain, Monet, Degas and the French Impressionists were his gods’, as one of his students put it.
It was between 1908 and 1913 that he completed his major Impressionist Manchester cityscapes. In 1908 he produced his first Manchester painting depicting Manchester Ship Canal. He fully understood the Impressionist practice of painting en plein air, capturing an immediate visual impression of a scene and rendering the exact effect of light.
Soon after his arrival in Manchester, Valette enrolled as a student in the evening classes at the Municipal School
of Art at All Saints, now part of Manchester Metropolitan University. His talent was quickly recognised and he was encouraged to apply for the position of Master of Painting and Drawing. He accepted this post ‘on the condition that he should teach the pupils by actually painting with them.
In 1928 Valette left Manchester, due to ill health and following the death of his mother. He moved permanently to Blace in the Beaujolais region of France, settling in a cottage which he inherited from his mother and where he had spent many holidays.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau French 185-1905
Washerwomen of Fouesnant , 1869
Oil on canvas
Like many of his contemporaries, Bouguereau viewed scenes of peasants performing their daily chores as a modern-day counterpart to the rustic figures of antiquity so beloved in historical paintings. He found the characters and occupations that would prove his source material for years to come in the small Breton village of Fouesnant, located in the far west of France.
Bouguereau was an important teacher as well as a staunch supporter of the academic training system at a time when it was criticized for stifling originality and nurturing mediocrity. With the advent of modernism, his work was ridiculed by many Impressionist and post-impressionist artists as representative of everything the new movements opposed: high technical finish, narrative content, sentimentality, and a reliance on tradition.

From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith:
"The removal of dust and refuse from the houses of the metropolis is a task which devolves on the officers of the various parishes. Although the duty of collecting dust is not always discharged to the satisfaction of householders, it must be admitted, when the gigantic nature of the work is taken into account, that there is very little ground for complaint. In the parish of Lambeth alone there are about 40,000 rateable houses. Each house is calculated to contribute on an average three loads of dust in the course of the year, so that the accumulated annual refuse of this section of London would form a mound of no mean proportions. In this parish matters are so arranged that a dust-cart is supposed to pass each door twice a week. The faithful observance of this and other rules depends jointly on the men themselves, and on the efficient supervision of foremen set over them. These foremen are in the pay of the vestry, while the men and carts are hired by the day from a contractor. The rubbish thus collected is carted away in part to "shoots" found by the vestry within the area of the parish, and in part to the Thames, where it is deposited in boats hired for its removal at one pound sterling per load."

Oil painting reproduction of William-Adolphe Bouguereau’s “Dawn” by Jo Ann Willis executed with Alchemist Mediums.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau (November 30, 1825 - August 19, 1905) was a French academic painter. William Bouguereau was a traditionalist whose realistic genre paintings and mythological themes were modern interpretations of Classical subjects with a heavy emphasis on the female human body. Although he created an idealized world, his almost photo-realistic style was popular with rich art patrons. He was very famous in his time but today his subject matter and technique receive relatively little attention compared to the popularity of the Impressionists. La Vierge au Lys Oil Painting by William Adolphe is one of his famous paintings.
