About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Street Scene with Church and Snow Covered Trees at Dusk By Fanch Lel Signed: yes Size: 15 x 18 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with minor signs of wear and handling along the edges consistent with age. 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: 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.
