Description:
In this vivid oil painting, Fanch Lel captures the quiet drama of the Golfe du Morbihan, a natural harbour along the southern coast of Brittany. The composition features three windswept trees leaning inland, shaped by the persistent Atlantic breeze, with a small white cottage nestled near the water’s edge. The sea glimmers under a shifting sky, with hints of sunlight breaking through moody blue and grey clouds.
The Golfe du Morbihan is a region celebrated for its unique geography—a “little sea” dotted with islands and edged by dramatic peninsulas. Lel’s interpretation distils its essence through his expressive brushwork and restrained palette. He uses dashes of green, soft grey, blue, and pale coral to create a sense of rhythmic movement across both land and sky.
The trees, their trunks streaked with orange and white highlights, act as natural verticals framing the central view. Their asymmetrical spacing and directional lean give the scene a dynamic yet balanced quality. Meanwhile, the distant shoreline and house offer a grounded, human presence amid the coastal expanse.
This work is ideal for collectors of French coastal landscapes or those with a connection to Brittany’s southwest. Its contemplative composition and natural palette make it a versatile addition to interiors seeking quiet texture and atmospheric tone.

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.
