Description:
In this atmospheric lakeside scene, French artist Fanch Lel captures a peaceful view over a turquoise body of water, likely inspired by one of France’s many scenic lakes or riverside towns—possibly along the shores of Lake Annecy or near the Dordogne region. A solitary birch tree dominates the foreground, its delicate branches reaching skyward and framing the vista beyond. Across the glistening water, a collection of boats drifts serenely while a domed building and distant rooftops hug the shoreline.
Lel’s brushwork is loose and expressive, allowing pastel tones of grey, pink, and blue to blend softly into one another, creating a moody sky that contrasts beautifully with the stillness of the water. The white sailboat and flickers of red punctuate the composition, drawing the eye into the painting’s depths.
With its gentle palette and impressionist rendering, this work conveys a moment of reflection in nature—ideal for collectors who appreciate plein air-style painting, peaceful European vistas, or scenes that evoke travel and memory. The natural framing created by the tree and foliage offers a sense of quiet observation, as though the viewer is perched on a high path overlooking the lake below.
This original oil painting would be a beautiful addition to any space seeking calm, subtle colour, and timeless scenic charm.

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.
