Description: This artwork, presents a charming seaside scene rendered in a classic French Impressionist style. The focus is on a pair of small boats resting near the shore, their vivid red and grey hues contrasting with the pale blues and tans of the surrounding landscape. The boats are anchored just in front of a prominent stone structure, a building with a sturdy tower, possibly a church or watchtower, which dominates the composition and stands along the water’s edge. Its old, textured walls evoke a sense of historical importance, while the gentle, flowing water provides a serene backdrop.
The sky above is filled with light blue tones with soft cloud formations, giving the piece a breezy, tranquil atmosphere. The loose brushstrokes and visible textures used to depict the sky, water, and buildings create an effect that is lively and dynamic yet peaceful. The artist’s skillful use of color and texture draws the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the vibrant boats to the architectural structure and beyond.
Signed and dated by the artist Fanch Lel, this piece reflects the authentic charm of small coastal towns in France. Whether or not this is a specific location, the atmosphere evokes the allure of the Mediterranean or Atlantic French coastlines. The composition captures the intimacy of life by the sea, balancing human craftsmanship with the natural world. A perfect addition for any collector who appreciates the nuances of Impressionist technique combined with maritime scenery.

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.
