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.

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.
