Description:
This richly toned coastal scene by French artist Fanch Lel captures a quiet fishing village nestled at the foot of a golden hillside, where colourful boats sit moored just off a rocky shoreline. Dated 1992 and signed in the lower left, this oil on board offers a vivid and evocative portrayal of traditional maritime life—likely along the Brittany or Normandy coast, where Lel often drew inspiration.
The foreground is grounded with rough, textured brushwork depicting low tide and rocky terrain, while gentle waves lap against hulls painted in warm reds, ochres, and blues. The rhythmic placement of boats leads the viewer’s eye towards a row of whitewashed cottages climbing up the slope, framed by windswept trees. The palette is vibrant yet natural, with dusty rose clouds, oceanic blues, and sun-tinged earth tones suggesting early morning or the close of day.
Lel’s expressive style and command of atmospheric light make this work particularly striking for collectors drawn to coastal or nautical themes. The loose impressionist approach to form and sky contrasts beautifully with the crisp architecture of the houses and boats. There's a peaceful rhythm to the composition—a harmony between man-made forms and natural terrain.
Ideal for lovers of seascapes or collectors seeking a nostalgic yet painterly French harbour view, this piece makes an excellent addition to interiors with rustic, coastal, or provincial design elements.

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.
