Description:
This tranquil coastal painting by Fanch Lel captures a soft, dreamlike view of the harbour at Port de Saint-Malo, the historic walled city on the coast of Brittany, France. Two fishing boats rest gently in calm waters, their reflections shimmering in layered hues of turquoise, lavender, and soft blue. Behind them, Saint-Malo’s rustic shoreline and violet-tinged hills fade into a misty, pastel horizon.
The artist’s expressive brushstrokes and carefully chosen colour palette—featuring mauve skies and aquamarine seas—create a peaceful, almost poetic atmosphere. A few seagulls glide overhead, bringing life and movement to the scene. The painting is signed and dated Fanch Lel 93, anchoring it in the artist’s mature period of work.
Saint-Malo, known for its maritime heritage and striking seaside vistas, has long been a subject for artists drawn to its beauty and history. This piece would appeal to collectors of coastal art, French seascapes, and lovers of gentle, impressionist compositions that reflect the fleeting quality of light and mood.

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.
