Description:
This vibrant gouache painting by Fanch Lel captures a tranquil French coastal village at low tide, with charming houses lining the waterfront and boats resting on the sandy shore. A central domed building rises above the rooftops, suggesting a historic church or civic hall—a landmark in many traditional French port towns. Loose, expressive brushstrokes in warm ochres, rich blues, and soft corals evoke the glowing light of early evening, with the sky brushed in pastel hues that suggest an approaching sunset.
The scene is rendered in an impressionist style, with gestural lines and minimal detailing that convey atmosphere rather than precision. The boats, anchored in the foreground, add a sense of peacefulness and timelessness, hinting at daily life in a fishing village. The overall composition feels both spontaneous and harmonious, celebrating the beauty of French coastal architecture and the serene rhythm of seaside living.
Paintings like this are ideal for collectors drawn to maritime scenes, French travel art, or impressionist works that balance colour and character with emotion. A perfect piece for adding warmth and charm to any interior.

Fanch Lel
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.
