Description:
In this vivid architectural street scene, Fanch Lel captures the brilliance of southern French sunlight bouncing off weathered stone buildings and wide steps that ascend toward a distinctive round tower. Painted in gouache in 1994, the work celebrates the interplay of light and shadow with bold, confident strokes and a sun-soaked palette of blues, ochres, and terracottas.
The upward perspective draws the viewer into the scene, evoking the sensation of wandering through a hilltop town—perhaps in Provence or Languedoc—where cobbled alleys give way to medieval towers and flower-filled balconies. The striking cobalt blue sky intensifies the sun-drenched mood, and the splash of orange flowers in the foreground adds a lively pop of colour.
Perfect for collectors who love Mediterranean landscapes, travel-inspired art, or European village charm, this piece encapsulates the warmth and elegance of France’s historic hill towns.

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.
