Description:
This atmospheric oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures the timeless elegance of Venice, with two gondolas gliding through a narrow canal beneath a soft pink arched bridge. Flanked by tall, painterly buildings rendered in pastel tones of lilac, beige, and soft grey, the composition draws the eye toward the bright blue sky above and the charming bridge at its heart.
Painted in 1997, this piece blends impressionist fluidity with a slightly abstracted perspective. The gondoliers, dressed in black, are balanced by a vibrant splash of red and blue from a seated figure, adding a focal point of human activity amid the architectural calm. Reflections shimmer on the water’s surface, gently echoing the movement of the boats.
Ideal for collectors of Venetian cityscapes, romantic travel-inspired works, or soft-hued architectural compositions, this painting captures the poetry and nostalgia of Venice in a uniquely expressive way.

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.
