Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of a Bustling Village of Dol-de-Bretagne
By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 4.25 x 6.25 inches (height x width)
Signed: Yes
Oil painting on cardboard, unframed
Condition: The painting is in good condition.
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 vibrant street scene captures the hustle and bustle of Dol-de-Bretagne, a small town located in the Ille-et-Vilaine department of Brittany, France. Known for its medieval charm and historic architecture, Dol-de-Bretagne has long been a source of inspiration for artists, with its quaint streets and lively atmosphere.
In this piece, Fanch Lel employs quick, expressive brushstrokes to depict figures walking through a bustling market street, set against the backdrop of traditional Breton stone houses. The variety of colors used for the figures’ clothing and the surrounding buildings creates a dynamic composition full of movement and life. This scene, full of everyday interactions, exemplifies the artist’s focus on capturing the vibrancy of daily life in France's smaller towns.
Lel’s painting resonates with those who appreciate depictions of French life, particularly in regions like Brittany, where local culture and architecture are preserved. For collectors with a focus on scenes of French history, travel, or community life, this piece is a wonderful addition to any collection.

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.
