This pastel drawing depicts a picturesque landscape featuring a winding path through lush greenery leading to a quaint village by a serene river, with distant hills and cliffs under a clear blue sky.
Recognisable for his soft pastel landscapes of Venice and the Tuscan landscape, Aggett's love affair with Italy began in 1959 when he, as a young architectural scholar, visited Umbria and Tuscany. Aggett was also particularly drawn to the French landscape, capturing a profusion of colour in pastel; fresh young green foliage, lavender fields as far as the eye could see and burning carpets of red poppies. Working primarily in pastels, Aggett worked quickly and spontaneously and with an element of immediacy, creating subtle gradation of colour that perfectly captured the atmospheric qualities of the landscape.
Les Andelys is a must-see town in Normandy. Located in the Seine Valley, the commune (or parish) grew out of the fusion of Le Petit-Andely and Le Grand-Andely, combining to form Les Andelys. The town’s architectural heritage is particularly rich in medieval buildings. The Hospice Saint-Jacques, also known as the Hôpital Saint-Jacques, dominates the meander in the Seine here, its dome adding to the splendour of the site. A foundation dating back to medieval times, it long welcomed pilgrims on one of the routes to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

- A Pastel Painted 1886 Called A Summer's Day on Hornbæk BeachLocated in Stockholm, SEFrants Henningsen (1850-1908) Denmark A Summer's Day on Hornbæk Beach, 1886 pastel on canvas unframed 41 x 33 cm (16.14 x 12.99 inches) framed 56 x 49 cm (22.05 x 19.29 inches) hand made oak frame by Stockholms Bildhuggeri Provenance: A Swedish private collection Comparable sales: Christie's London British and European Art, 15 jul 2021 Lot 130, Frants Henningsen - A Summer's Day on Hornbæk Beach 1884 Price realised 43,750 GBP (605,000 SEK) Essay: We are pleased to present a striking pastel by the Danish artist, Frants Henningsen (1850-1908), titled "A Summer's Day on Hornbæk Beach" dated 1886. The scene is from Hornbæk Beach in Denmark, featuring a beach with some pooled water, a few green grass plants, followed by the sea with sailboats, and land visible on the horizon. The water reflection in the puddle on the beach and in the sea is exceptionally beautiful, reflecting the sky, which has a few clouds. This is a motif that the artist revisited several times during the 1880s, including a larger oil painting executed in 1884, sold at Christie's in 2021, and another one from 1883 in the museum collection: The Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen. Our pastel is undoubtedly the brightest of those we could find; it is strikingly beautiful and in exceptionally good condition. The artwork comes in a beautiful handmade oak gold frame by Stockholms Bildhuggeri. About Frants Henningsen: Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen was a Danish painter, illustrator, and professor. His paintings often depict unfortunate occurrences in the lives of middle-class people living in Copenhagen during challenging times. Although connected with Denmark's more traditional realist school, he faced criticism from some of his more reactionary contemporaries, especially Karl Madsen, who objected to his appointment as a professor at the Academy in 1887. Erik Henningsen, also an artist, was his younger brother. Henningsen graduated from Borgerdyd School in Christianshavn, attended C.V. Nielsen's drawing school, and then completed his studies at the Danish Academy in 1875. He studied at Léon Bonnat's school in Paris from 1877 to 1878 and traveled to Spain with Peder Severin Krøyer, Frans Schwartz...Category
