Description:
This vibrant coastal watercolour by Fanch Lel depicts a tranquil French fishing village, its small boats gently bobbing in a sheltered harbour beneath a dynamic blue sky. The painting captures the rhythm of everyday life by the sea, with whitewashed cottages dotted across sandy slopes and a distant line of trees framing the horizon in soft tones of green and purple.
Painted in 1993, this piece reflects Lel’s love of maritime scenes and rural charm. The water is rendered in cool shades of blue, mirroring the quiet atmosphere of the scene, while red, green, and navy boats add pops of colour to the composition. Loose, flowing brushwork conveys light and movement, while the scattered houses and gently sloping land suggest a quiet, community-driven coastal life.
Ideal for collectors who appreciate nautical art, French village scenes, or impressionist watercolours, this work brings warmth, calm, and a touch of nostalgic 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.
