About the Item

Les Andelys in the Seine Valley France Landscape Pastel Art. A fine example of the beautiful work of British 20th Century Artist, Lionel Aggett (1938-2009). Signed front and rear, framed behind an acrylic sheet, presented in a high quality gold and cream shabby chic moulding. Art measures 32 x 24 inches Frame measures 40 x 32 inches 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.
