Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of View of the Vauban Tower, Camaret-sur-Mer
By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 9 x 11.5 inches (height x width)
Oil painting on board, unframed

Description: This stunning landscape painting by Fanch Lel offers a view of the iconic Vauban Tower in Camaret-sur-Mer, located on the coast of Brittany, France. The piece captures the rugged beauty of the coastline, with the tower standing majestically by the water’s edge. Built as a fortification in the late 17th century, the Vauban Tower is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its historical importance is beautifully conveyed in this impressionistic rendering.
Lel uses thick, expressive brushstrokes to bring the scene to life, with swirling skies above and soft, muted tones of green, blue, and grey capturing the overcast atmosphere of a windswept coastal day. The foreground is dominated by the movement of the choppy sea, with a small fishing boat tied to the shore, gently bobbing in the water as waves crash against the rocks. The rough texture of the paint mirrors the natural elements—the rugged terrain, the stone tower, and the frothy waves.
The juxtaposition of man-made structures with the wildness of nature creates a dramatic yet tranquil scene, with the grey clouds above suggesting the possibility of an incoming storm. The historic Vauban Tower, standing tall and immovable against the elements, anchors the composition with a sense of timelessness, while the boats give a nod to the region’s long-standing connection to the sea.
This painting invites the viewer to feel the crisp sea breeze and hear the sound of waves as they experience this evocative coastal landscape.

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.
