French Impressionist Painting of Fishing Boats in Le Croisic Brittany

1989

About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Painting of Fishing Boats in Le Croisic Brittany By Fanch Lel Signed: yes Size: 10.75 x 8.75 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present. 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: 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.
