Description:
This charming French watercolour by Fanch Lel captures a peaceful coastal village scene, with white seaside cottages overlooking a bay dotted with brightly coloured sailboats and moored vessels. The landscape is painted with soft washes of pale blues, sandy beige, and seafoam green, creating a fresh and airy composition that evokes the tranquility of a breezy summer day by the sea. Grasses and rocks in the foreground add a touch of earthy detail, while the suggestion of distant rooftops across the water gives the scene a sense of place and lived-in warmth. Dated 1993, this piece reflects Lel’s continued mastery of light and simplicity in his later work. Ideal for collectors of French seascapes, coastal interiors, and delicate plein air studies, this painting brings a joyful coastal energy to any space.

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.
