Description:
This soft and expressive watercolour by French artist Fanch Lel depicts the village of Plélan-le-Grand in Brittany, painted on November 4th, 1996. A church steeple rises above the rooftops, its blue-grey tones standing in gentle contrast to the pale, earthy paper and pastel washes of the surrounding landscape.
In the foreground, a leafless tree stretches upward in delicate, meandering lines, hinting at late autumn. The composition is fluid and intuitive, with hints of foliage, rooftops, and distant trees blending seamlessly into a tranquil countryside atmosphere. The use of natural tones—sage, ochre, soft lavender—evokes a peaceful, seasonal stillness.
Perfect for collectors of French provincial scenes, seasonal landscapes, or artwork tied to specific places and dates, this piece carries both artistic charm and a personal historic touch.

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.
