About the Item

Title: French Coastal Lighthouse Scene With Boats Cottages And Sky Oil Painting by Fanch Lel Signed: Bottom left corner Size: 13 x 16.25 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: Good overall condition. Minor surface wear and edge scuffs consistent with age. Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: This expressive coastal oil painting by Fanch Lel captures a windswept French shoreline featuring a tall, prominent lighthouse surrounded by scattered cottages and fishing boats at rest. The brushwork is highly textured and dynamic, with thick impasto layers creating a sense of movement in the clouds and sea. The sky dominates the upper half of the canvas with swirling strokes of pale blue, white, and sand-toned paint. Below, the lighthouse stands tall and slightly weathered, rendered in greys and whites with hints of rust red and black for contrast. Around its base, a cluster of simple whitewashed buildings—some with green roofs—hint at a coastal village or working harbour. Several rowboats float in the foreground water, their dark shapes reflected softly in the rippling surface. Lel’s use of impasto technique creates a tactile quality, inviting the viewer to not only see the scene but to feel the breeze and shifting atmosphere. Despite the bold, rough strokes, the composition remains balanced and harmonious—testament to the artist’s confident handling of paint and instinctive eye for coastal life. Signed Fanch Lel in the lower left, this piece likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century and would appeal to collectors of maritime or expressionist French landscapes. Ideal for those who appreciate dramatic skies and coastal nostalgia.
