Fanch Lel
French Impressionist Sunset Seascape with Boat and Lighthouse Marker

About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Sunset Seascape with Boat and Lighthouse Marker By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 19.75 x 24 inches (height x width) Oil painting on cardboard, unframed Condition: Good condition overall with minor surface handling marks and light wear to edges, consistent with its medium and vintage character. Painted on corrugated card, which adds visible texture and depth. 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 Impressionist oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a sunset along the coast of Deauville, Normandy—a region renowned for its refined seaside charm, sailing culture, and painterly light. Titled "Impression Soleil couchant du Deauville St Aumare", the piece channels the rich traditions of French seascape painting, particularly the late-day glow that has inspired generations of artists. A single boat floats gently in the shallows as the sun dips toward the horizon, casting golden reflections across the water’s surface. A beacon marker stands quietly at sea, mirrored in the shimmering light. The sky is awash in muted mauves, salmon pinks, and warm oranges, typical of Deauville’s famed sunsets, while a rocky breakwater anchors the left side of the scene. Two white sailboats appear on the right, catching the last light and adding a sense of motion and depth. Lel’s confident brushstrokes and atmospheric palette deliver both serenity and emotional resonance. The inscription on the back links this piece specifically to Deauville and Saint-Aumare, grounding it in a real place with historical and cultural significance. Deauville is often referred to as the “Parisian Riviera,” long associated with coastal leisure, elegance, and the arts. Ideal for collectors of French maritime art or those with a love of Normandy’s coast, this painting offers a timeless, tranquil moment—a luminous blend of land, sea, and sky.
