Description:
This vibrant impressionist harbour scene bursts with energy and colour, depicting a row of moored sailboats beside a lighthouse, with their reflections dancing across still waters. A church tower and whitewashed buildings rise in the background, suggesting a coastal village—likely inspired by ports in Brittany or Normandy. The scene is painted in a combination of gouache and oil on card, allowing for bold opacity in the boats and architecture while keeping the water and sky soft and translucent.
The palette is especially lively: lavender, mint, seafoam, and canary yellow blend with dusky pinks and deep sea blues to create an impression of early evening or golden hour. The lighthouse, standing sentinel at the edge of the harbour wall, adds a sense of stability and vertical drama to the otherwise low, wide composition.
What sets this piece apart is its confident use of colour to abstract light and form. Shadows and reflections are rendered in sweeping brushstrokes, giving the water a rippled, mirror-like effect. The delicate vertical masts and church spire break up the horizontality, guiding the viewer’s eye through the townscape.
Signed clearly in the lower left, this painting exemplifies Fanch Lel’s flair for capturing the rhythm and mood of French coastal life through expressive, modern brushwork. Perfect for collectors who love harbour art, colourful seascapes, or painterly interpretations of maritime towns.

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.
