Description:
Rendered in soft, dreamy pastel colours, this harbour scene by French artist Fanch Lel depicts a charming coastal town, where two small boats bob gently at the dock beneath a towering church structure. The composition is marked by muted lavender, dusty blue, and gentle cream hues, which lend the piece a misty, almost ethereal quality. A sweeping sky filled with cool tones frames the historic architecture and calm waters below, invoking the peaceful stillness of a quiet French port.
The central church tower, painted in creamy tones with blue accents, suggests a well-known landmark commonly found in historic coastal towns of Brittany or Normandy. Around it, clustered houses line the quay, their softly rendered forms blending gently into one another, capturing the harmony between land and sea. The subtle use of colour and texture invites the viewer to linger, drawing attention to the interplay between light, architecture, and reflection.
This work is ideal for collectors of maritime art, lovers of French coastal towns, and anyone seeking a tranquil, atmospheric piece with a romantic, vintage feel. Its understated palette and expressive softness make it a timeless addition to any interior.

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.
