Description:
This captivating oil painting by Fanch Lel offers an impressionistic view of a French riverside village, complete with red-roofed buildings, a tall church spire, and an arched stone bridge reflected softly in the water below. The painter’s broad, confident brushstrokes and warm palette evoke the gentle calm of a late afternoon in the French countryside, possibly inspired by regions such as the Dordogne, Lot, or the Midi-Pyrénées.
The church steeple rises prominently above the clustered rooftops, drawing the eye upward, while the lower half of the painting is dominated by soft, dappled reflections in the river. Lel’s impressionist technique renders the entire scene in harmonious blocks of muted creams, ochres, greens, and pale greys, capturing the texture of old buildings and the gentle ripple of water with great sensitivity.
This piece will appeal to collectors drawn to provincial France, impressionist village scenes, or timeless architectural compositions. Its mood is one of quiet beauty and historic charm—ideal for any setting seeking warmth, depth, and painterly elegance.

Commonly known as the Old Bridge (Alte Brücke), it is an arch bridge in Heidelberg that crosses the Neckar river. It connects the Old City with the eastern part of the Neuenheim district of the city on the opposite bank. The current bridge, made of Neckar sandstone and the ninth built on the site, was constructed in 1788 by Elector Charles Theodore, and is one of the best-known landmarks and tourist destinations in Heidelberg.
