Description:
Painted in 1993, this delicate and light-filled watercolour by French artist Fanch Lel captures the charm of a small riverside village viewed through a pair of tall trees in the foreground. The rooftops and church spires of the town sit nestled into a rolling green landscape, reflected softly in the turquoise-toned waters of the river below. Gentle brushwork and fresh pastel hues create a tranquil and nostalgic atmosphere, reminiscent of the French countryside in spring or early summer.
Lel’s composition cleverly frames the village with natural elements, drawing the viewer into the scene as if glimpsing it through the woods on a peaceful walk. The church spire and traditional houses are painted in soft, loose lines, suggesting both distance and warmth, while the surrounding foliage is rendered with a fluid, expressive touch.
Ideal for collectors of French pastoral scenes, romantic landscapes, or those looking to add a sense of calm and colour to their space.

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.
