Description:
This atmospheric French Impressionist oil painting by Fanch Lel features a Gothic-style church with a striking rose window, nestled among tall trees and positioned just behind a charming arched stone bridge. The bridge’s elegant curve is reflected in the still waters below, creating a strong visual symmetry that enhances the composition’s tranquil charm. Rich impasto and expressive brushwork lend the scene a sense of movement and energy, while the palette of blues, violets, and earthy greens evokes a serene, dreamlike atmosphere. The architecture and composition suggest a quiet town or riverside village, possibly inspired by a real location in France. Ideal for collectors who appreciate romantic architecture, European travel scenes, and reflective water landscapes, this piece would suit a traditional or eclectic interior and speaks to the timeless elegance of France’s rural churches and waterways.

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.
