Description
Aggett combines vibrant colour with disciplined structure in this radiant Tuscan scene. The sunflowers are painted with confident, textural brushwork, set against the cooler geometry of distant hills and towers. Developed from plein-air studies, the work is refined in the studio, where layered oils enhance depth and luminosity, capturing the vitality of the landscape at peak summer.
