Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of Boats by the Sea in Breton Village
By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 4.25 x 6 inches (height x width)
Signed: Yes
Oil painting on cardboard, unframed

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 piece by Fanch Lel, titled "Bords de Mer" (2004), transports viewers to a peaceful Breton village on the coast of France, where vibrant boats rest ashore, quietly awaiting their next journey. The artist’s mastery of color and texture is on full display, using a thick application of paint to create a highly tactile surface, bringing depth and movement to the scene. The soft pastel tones of the sky and distant cottages contrast beautifully with the lively strokes of red and green that highlight the boats and rooftops, imbuing the composition with a sense of energy and warmth.
Lel’s signature loose brushstrokes, typical of his impressionistic style, evoke the feeling of a fleeting moment captured in time, while the subtle interplay of light and shadow across the canvas creates a harmonious balance between tranquility and vitality. The distant figure in red adds a human presence, suggesting the everyday rhythms of life along the coast. This painting not only reflects the charm of rural Breton life but also speaks to the artist’s deep connection to nature and his ability to capture its ever-changing moods.

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.
