Carl Frederic Aagaard (January 29, 1833 in Odense, † 2 November 1895 in Copenhagen) was a Danish painter.
With 19 years Aagaard came as a student at the Royal Danish Art Academy, and became a pupil of the landscape painter Peter Christian Skoovgaard (1817-1875). This was - by his own admission Aagaard - the greatest influence on him.
Together with his brother Johan Peter (1818-1879) worked as a Xylograph Aagaard and etcher. Later he became assistant to the decorative painter Georg Hilker Christian (1807-1875).
Aagaard 1857 was the occasion to present a joint exhibition for the first time, several works, with great success to the public.
Between 1869 and 1870, undertook an extensive study Aagaard trip to Switzerland and later (1875/1876) he traveled to Italy. Of these trips, he brought a lot of sketches that formed later in the studio the basis of his oil paintings.
