Description:
Painted in 1989, this impressionist coastal scene by Fanch Lel features two classic Breton fishing boats moored in the picturesque harbor of Le Croisic, a historic town on the Atlantic coast of Brittany, France. The boats—painted in subdued shades of green, brown, and blue—are gently reflected in the soft lilac and mint waters below, while a lone figure on the left adds narrative intimacy to the serene setting.
The sky above is filled with sweeping brushstrokes in pale green, buttery yellow, and muted lavender, evoking the soft, shifting light typical of Brittany’s coastline. Le Croisic, known for its centuries-old maritime traditions and granite architecture, provides a fitting backdrop for Lel’s expressive approach. The scene captures both the everyday working life of the region and its natural, poetic beauty.
The reverse inscription—“Le Croisic, Fanch Lel 89”—authenticates the location and date, enhancing the appeal for collectors of French regional art, maritime scenes, or 20th-century impressionist painters. This piece offers both aesthetic charm and a genuine connection to one of Brittany’s most beloved coastal towns.

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.
