Description:
This evocative French street scene by Fanch Lel captures the quiet charm of a small town as snow gently coats the rooftops and trees. At the heart of the composition stands a church with a tall steeple, its architecture rendered in warm terracotta tones that contrast beautifully against the cool whites and purples of the snow-covered street below. The gentle swirl of pastel skies hints at a setting sun, casting a soft glow across the village buildings and bare branches.
Executed in oil on board, the painting exhibits Lel’s signature impressionistic approach, with fluid brushwork and expressive colour blending. The winding road and receding perspective draw the viewer inward, toward the warmly lit church façade. Snow-lined rooftops and tree limbs glisten under soft twilight, creating a nostalgic, almost festive mood.
While the exact location remains unspecified, the architecture suggests a rural or provincial French village—possibly in eastern or central France—known for narrow streets, clustered homes, and central churches that act as community anchors. The pinkish sky, paired with deep lavender shadows and rich forest greens, brings atmosphere and serenity to the scene.
Ideal for collectors who appreciate seasonal landscapes, European village architecture, or emotive colourwork, this piece offers a beautifully balanced composition that evokes both warmth and quietude. It would make a stunning addition to any space looking for a touch of winter charm and painterly elegance.

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.
