Description:
This charming French Impressionist oil painting captures a tranquil harbor scene, where small boats gently bob on calm waters under a soft pastel sky. The composition features five boats moored close to each other, their reflections shimmering in the rippling water. Above them, seagulls glide gracefully through the air, adding a sense of movement to the peaceful setting. In the background, a tall, slender lighthouse with a red top stands watch over the scene, while a tree-lined pier extends towards the left. The artist has used delicate, loose brushstrokes to evoke the play of light on the water and sky, which are rendered in soothing tones of blue, pink, and soft green. The piece beautifully captures the serene atmosphere of a quiet day by the sea, inviting the viewer to pause and enjoy the peaceful moment.

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.

Title: French Harbour Oil Painting of Boats Lighthouse and Rocky Shoreline at Low Tide
By Fanch Lel
Signed: Yes
Size: 13 x 16 inches (height x width)
Oil painting on board, unframed
Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present.
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 expressive 1986 oil on board titled Marée (meaning “Tide”) captures a dramatic moment along the French coast, where the sky glows with streaks of yellow and rose as the tide pulls gently from the harbour. A lighthouse stands at the center of the scene, surrounded by whitewashed buildings and small moored fishing boats bobbing in the shallows.
Painted by French artist Fanch Lel, this work features dynamic brushwork and a moody, storm-washed sky layered in shades of slate grey, lavender, and warm amber. The palette evokes the fleeting golden hour, as the low sun reflects off wet rocks and waterlogged docks. The boats in the foreground are rendered in deep rust, black, and marine blue, giving the composition a grounded, tactile quality.
The piece has strong visual depth: a rocky foreground with tethered boats...
