Description

Provence, in the south-eastern region of France is known for its sun-drenched lavender and olive groves, and this original signed pastel by Lionel Aggett beautifully captures the landscape. Lionel Aggett (1938 - 2009) was a landscape painter, muralist, architect and writer. He was born in Whiddon Down, Devon and educated at Exeter School. Looking through recently sold artworks by this artist, his drawings of the French countryside in pastel appear to be the most popular and are starting to command steady and respectable sums when they come on the market. His artistic training and command of this medium is plain to see. Lionel was an artist who could convey distance and perspective with ease and transport the viewer to this much-loved area of France - you can almost feel the heat and hear the rhythmic buzz of the cicadas. The dimensions below are for the frame - the artwork measure approx. 37.5 cm high x 50 cm wide.

Pastel painting gained prominence during the Renaissance and reached a peak in popularity among French and British impressionists during the 18th and 19th centuries for its vibrant colour and immediacy.

Traditional pastel artworks utilise pigment sticks composed of powdered colour and a binder, applied to heavily textured or sanded paper to secure the delicate dust particles.

Authentic pastels typically feature the artists handwritten signature, visible paper texture beneath the pigment layers, and should be examined under magnification to confirm the absence of print dots.

Mount the pastel painting within a neutral mat and a simple wooden frame, positioning it on a well-lit wall to draw the eye without competing with surrounding decor.

Pastels must be framed under glass with a spacer to prevent the pigment from touching the glass surface, and kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and mould growth.
