About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of Boats in the Harbor at Saint-Malo By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) Size: 4.5 x 6.75 inches (height x width) Signed: Yes Oil painting on cardboard, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition, with minor signs of aging. Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: This captivating piece showcases an abstract depiction of the bustling harbor at Saint-Malo, a historic French city known for its seafaring heritage. The scene captures the industrial side of the port, highlighting cranes and fishing boats set against a backdrop of warm oranges, yellows, and blues. The artist’s loose, expressive brushstrokes create a vibrant, glowing ambiance, emphasizing the dynamic movement of the harbor. The composition is alive with the interplay of color and light, with the cool blue tones of the boats contrasting against the sun-drenched hues of the harbor. This painting conveys both the warmth of a coastal town and the energy of an active working port, combining the romanticism of the sea with the industrious spirit of maritime life. Saint-Malo's towering cranes are visible, serving as a reminder of the town’s robust history in shipbuilding and trade, while the delicate lines of the boats suggest the personal stories of local fishermen. A perfect piece for lovers of maritime art and French coastal scenes, the abstract yet recognizable forms give the work a contemporary edge while maintaining a traditional subject.
