Johan Peter Aagaard
Johan Peter Aagaard (born May 3, 1818 in Odense , † May 22, 1879 in Copenhagen ) was a Danish form cutter (xylograph).
He was the son of master shoemaker Ole Pederson Aagaard (1792–1865) and Anna Ursula Thrane, b. Winchler (1794–1872) and older brother of the landscape painter Carl Frederik Aagaard . First he practiced his father's profession, went to Copenhagen in 1839 and learned the art of woodcutting from Andreas Flinch . From 1842 to 1847 he exhibited some xylographic sheets at Charlottenborg Palace . In 1849 he and Axel Theodor Kittendorf (October 19, 1821 - March 8, 1868) founded the company Kittendorf & Aagaard, which was a studio for xylography. Aagaard often worked with chemistry , created many book illustrations and, together with his business partner, contributed significantly to the spread of xylography in Denmark.
On August 14, 1852, Aagaard married Ulrikka Gustafva Rydberg (1818–1898), daughter of the blacksmith Carl Asmund Rydberg, in Copenhagen. After Kittendorf's death in 1868, he continued to run the joint business alone and in his final years mainly operated an art object trade. In 1876 he received the gold medal of merit for artistic effectiveness. He died in Copenhagen in 1879 at the age of 61.
