French Impressionist Tree Lined Canal Pathway Landscape with Reflections

About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Tree Lined Canal Pathway Landscape with Reflections By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 19.25 x 15.75 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 atmospheric landscape by French impressionist Fanch Lel depicts a serene tree-lined canal path in soft, gestural brushwork. A winding pinkish path on the left is mirrored by a gently flowing waterway on the right, with both flanked by tall, leafless trees rendered in warm creams and ochres. The scene is bathed in twilight tones of lavender, slate blue, and hints of rose—suggesting the quiet transition of early morning or dusk. The reflection of the trees in the canal adds a dreamy, almost abstract quality to the piece, while the texture of the corrugated cardboard beneath enhances its tactile, plein air appeal. Painted in oil, the piece shows off Lel’s signature style: bold, expressive strokes, a limited yet evocative palette, and an emotional connection to the French countryside. Though untitled, the composition likely depicts a canal path in northern or central France, where scenes like this are common in rural towns and small communes. The use of purple and green undertones lends the work a peaceful, meditative air, making it an excellent piece for collectors who value subtle beauty and painterly abstraction in landscape art. Ideal for lovers of French impressionism, tranquil scenes, or seasonal landscapes, this painting offers a moment of solitude and poetic reflection—perfect for display in a quiet study, hallway, or nature-inspired interior.
