Description:
This delicate 1996 painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a peaceful coastal village, where a small group of fishing boats rests on the shore under a soft morning sky brushed with pastel pink and cream. In the background, a modest stone church with a square tower anchors the scene, flanked by traditional Breton-style buildings. The palette is cool and restrained, with washes of grey-blue, sandy ochre, and blush lending the work a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.
Painted with Fanch Lel’s signature blend of stylization and Impressionist influence, this coastal vignette is evocative of rural Normandy or Brittany—regions often frequented by artists for their unique light and atmospheric charm. The composition is balanced and gentle, the brushwork confident but soft. Boats are rendered with simple shapes and light touches of detail, grounding the work in a sense of everyday life while allowing the palette and mood to dominate.
The depiction of boats at low tide—still and grounded—has symbolic as well as visual appeal. It suggests a moment of rest, of rhythm with nature and community. Combined with the chapel, the painting carries a sense of place that speaks to both solitude and belonging.
Ideal for collectors of French provincial landscapes, coastal themes, or those drawn to paintings with quiet energy and historic charm. The manageable scale also makes it perfect for framing and display in intimate or layered interior spaces.

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.
