This dynamic pastel drawing by Fanch Lel captures a picturesque coastal scene, featuring a fishing boat anchored near a lighthouse, set against a backdrop of vibrant skies and rolling waves. The use of pastel allows for a rich, textured depiction of both the sea and the sky, with bold strokes highlighting the movement of the water and the dramatic lighting on the landscape.
Lel’s mastery in capturing the essence of coastal life in France is evident in this work, where the interplay of light and color brings the scene to life. The striking lighthouse stands as a symbol of maritime heritage, while the fishing boat serves as a reminder of the hardworking rhythm of the coastal community. This artwork would make a perfect addition for collectors interested in French coastal landscapes and mid-century pastel works.

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.
