Description:
This vibrant French landscape by Fanch Lel captures the Vieux Pont de Boussy—the historic stone bridge connecting the commune of Boussy-Saint-Antoine, located near Brunoy in the southern suburbs of Paris. Painted in soft gouache on textured card, the composition is suffused with warm light, blending soft corals, pale blues, and violets to create a dreamlike riverscape typical of Lel’s poetic impressionist style.
Three arched bridge openings span the tranquil river, their shadows mirrored in the cool, reflective surface of the water. On the left, flowering trees in soft pink and cream bloom along the riverbank, while the village rooftops and chimney rise behind in ochres and rust tones, partially obscured by spring foliage. A subtle wisp of smoke curling into the sky adds a sense of calm rural life continuing in the distance.
The handwritten inscription on the reverse confirms the specific subject, making this an appealing piece for collectors of French regional art or anyone with ties to Brunoy or Boussy. The Vieux Pont de Boussy is a cherished historical structure and a recognisable local landmark, dating back centuries and often painted by regional artists for its peaceful setting and classic stone architecture.
An ideal choice for lovers of soft impressionism, small-scale French landscapes, or scenes tied to the greater Île-de-France region.

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.
