About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Painting of Fishing Boats at Rivedoux Harbour Île de Ré By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 14.75 x 18 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 Île de Ré – Le Port de Rivedoux, this bright and breezy French harbour scene by Fanch Lel captures the laid-back charm of the Atlantic coast. Painted in 2000, the view looks toward the small fishing port of Rivedoux on Île de Ré, an island known for its pastel-toned houses, oyster farming, and idyllic seafront life. Three fishing boats sit calmly in shallow waters near the shore, their sails and rigging loosely suggested with confident strokes of red and black. In the background, a stone jetty and row of white-roofed houses mark the edge of the mainland. Overhead, seagulls sweep across the sky, their flight paths bringing a sense of motion to the otherwise peaceful scene. The colour palette features soft blues, taupes, creams, and greys—evoking the filtered light typical of France’s western coastline. Lel’s impressionist technique emphasizes brush texture and simplicity of form, capturing atmosphere over intricate detail. The result is an artwork that feels spontaneous, relaxed, and full of coastal character. This painting would appeal to collectors of French maritime art, fans of Île de Ré, or anyone drawn to breezy seaside landscapes and fishing culture. It offers a snapshot of daily life in one of France’s most picturesque and beloved island communities.
