Description:
This vibrant coastal regatta scene by French artist Fanch Lel captures the joyful energy of a sailboat-filled harbour, painted in 1990. A flurry of boats with colourful sails—ranging from soft creams to bold oranges and pinks—gently float across the water under a swirling sky filled with seagulls. Painted in oil on textured card, the scene reflects Lel’s impressionist style, full of motion, colour, and light.
The shoreline in the background is dotted with white-washed buildings and lush greenery, suggesting a quaint French fishing village, possibly along the Brittany coast. Lel’s lively palette and fluid brushwork create a shimmering sense of reflected light on the water’s surface, while the boats’ varied hues and masts add rhythm and structure.
Despite the overcast sky, the overall feeling is one of celebration and movement, capturing the spirit of a regatta or maritime fête. The sky’s greys and lilacs contrast beautifully with the warm peach and coral tones of the sails, giving the scene both drama and harmony.
Perfect for collectors of nautical art, French seaside scenes, or impressionist painting, this signed and dated work offers a decorative yet sophisticated portrayal of life by the sea. Its expressive quality and lively subject matter make it an engaging addition to any coastal-inspired interior or fine art collection.

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.
