Description:
This charming riverside village scene by French artist Fanch Lel beautifully captures the essence of traditional French architecture reflected in still waters. Painted in 1998, the piece features a tall church spire rising above slate-roofed homes that cluster along the banks of the river. The soft pastel palette of blues, lavenders, creams, and dusty greys evokes the calm of an early morning or the haze of dusk. Lel's textured brushwork adds depth and liveliness to both sky and reflection, balancing compositional stillness with painterly motion. Subtle tree branches frame the village on the right, and rippling reflections in the water below anchor the composition. Ideal for collectors of architectural landscapes, Impressionist village scenes, or French provincial imagery, this piece offers a peaceful view of riverside life in rural France.

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.
