Forgotten or even unknown for years, Valette is now recognised as one of Manchester’s outstanding art treasures.

This tour takes you to the spots in the city where Valette taught and painted; it explores the different aspects of Impressionism seen through a Manchester eye, and continues into Manchester Art Gallery, where a large collection of Valette’s work stands.

Explore the clouded spires, the reflections in the water, the atmospheres and passing moments of an Edwardian jewel. On this tour you can experience both painting and real subject in a uniquely hands-on Manchester experience only matched by a trip to Monet’s garden itself.
