Description:
Painted in 1999, this vibrant harbour scene by French artist Fanch Lel captures a peaceful mooring of sailboats nestled in a tree-lined inlet. The artist’s confident impasto brushwork is on full display here, with vivid strokes of lavender, ochre, teal, and moss green adding a rich sense of motion and colour to the tranquil waters and dense forest beyond.
In the centre foreground, a group of sailboats float quietly, reflected in pastel-toned water. Behind them, a whitewashed house with a slate blue roof anchors the composition. Tall trees, painted in a tapestry of earthy greens and purples, surround the dock, suggesting the protective seclusion of this hidden harbour. The sky is filtered through foliage, giving the entire scene a moody yet inviting tone.
Fanch Lel’s signature post-war impressionist style is particularly dynamic in this piece, where his love of texture and atmospheric colour come together with striking effect. The balance between built environment and surrounding nature makes this painting a beautiful evocation of the French Atlantic or Breton coast.
This artwork would appeal to collectors of modern French coastal painting and those drawn to expressive, colour-rich works that still retain strong figurative forms. It would sit beautifully in both rustic and contemporary interiors, offering a window into the quiet rhythms of harbour life.

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.
