Description:
This evocative coastal oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures the raw energy of the sea crashing against a small stone pier, crowned with a lone white lighthouse. The scene is full of movement, as sweeping brushstrokes in varying tones of blue, grey, and white bring the sky and waves to life. The textured application of paint conveys the turbulence of the sea and the wind-swept sky, evoking the drama of an incoming storm.
The lighthouse stands resilient amidst the chaos, a beacon of safety against the powerful elements. Subtle hints of red and brown in the background suggest distant land or rocky outcrops, adding depth to the seascape. The arched tunnel at the base of the pier further enhances the sense of weathered coastal infrastructure.
Perfect for collectors drawn to maritime scenes and impressionist techniques, this piece reflects the enduring relationship between man-made structures and nature’s force. It offers a dramatic and moody depiction of the French coastline, ideal for nautical interiors or those with a love of coastal life.

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.
