About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Painting of Boats on the Beach at Dinard By Fanch Lel Size: 14.25 x 20.25 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with minor signs of wear and handling along the edges consistent with age. 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: Titled Bateaux sur la plage à Dinard (Boats on the Beach at Dinard), this original oil by French artist Fanch Lel captures the luminous quality of coastal life in Brittany. Dinard, a celebrated seaside resort town on France’s Emerald Coast, has long attracted painters for its dramatic light, cliffs, and maritime activity—and this work offers a charming tribute to its quiet shoreline. In the foreground, two beached sailboats rest on soft sand at low tide, their masts and rigging loosely defined against a dreamy backdrop of lavender cliffs and a muted peach-toned sky. Further out, a red-sailed vessel and two other boats float gently in shallow teal waters, suggesting the slow rhythm of life by the sea. Lel’s impressionist style favours simplicity of form and atmosphere over tight detail, using warm shadows, delicate gradients, and expressive brushwork to evoke a calm, reflective mood. The soft pastels and bold lines create a harmonious scene that feels both peaceful and alive with subtle movement. Perfect for collectors of French coastal art, sailing themes, or lovers of Dinard and the Breton coast, this painting carries the signature hallmarks of Fanch Lel’s style—capturing everyday beauty with grace and lightness.
