Description:
This evocative 1996 seascape by French artist Fanch Lel captures the rugged drama of France’s Atlantic coastline with its iconic sea stacks and soaring seabirds. Rendered in oil on board, the painting showcases Lel’s signature impressionist style—featuring expressive brushstrokes, a muted coastal palette, and layered textures that suggest wind, water, and stone in motion.
The composition is dominated by weathered rock formations rising from the sea, possibly inspired by natural landmarks like the Côte Sauvage in Brittany or the cliffs of Étretat. The cliffs to the left balance the verticality of the jagged stacks extending into the calm water, while three white gulls glide overhead, adding a lively sense of movement to the otherwise peaceful scene.
With its palette of soft greys, dusty blues, creams, and touches of umber, the painting captures the light and atmosphere typical of France’s northern coasts. Ideal for collectors who appreciate coastal landscapes, marine impressionism, or nature-inspired compositions, this work delivers both serenity and structure in a modest format.
A poetic depiction of land meeting sea, it speaks to the enduring fascination with France’s wild, windswept shores—timeless and elemental in character.

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.
