Description:
This peaceful gouache landscape by French artist Fanch Lel features a small countryside chapel nestled at the edge of a softly painted woodland. With its simple steeple and open doorway, the chapel evokes a quiet moment of solitude, framed by a line of trees rendered in vertical brushstrokes of green, white, and pale gold.
The soft blue-grey sky is dotted with distant birds, while the grassy clearing in the foreground flows in washes of sage, lavender, and soft earth tones. Lel’s brushwork is delicate and fluid, suggesting a misty morning or early spring day in rural France. The minimalist approach allows the viewer to feel the stillness and serenity of the setting without distraction.
Ideal for collectors of tranquil landscapes, religious or meditative scenes, or those who appreciate subtle impressionist techniques, this work offers a quiet beauty and timeless calm.

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.
