Description:
This atmospheric French impressionist harbour scene by Fanch Lel captures a quiet village at dusk, its lavender-roofed houses glowing gently in the fading golden light. The sky, brushed with soft blues, mauves, and pale yellows, reflects across calm water where small boats drift gently, anchored in the stillness of the early evening.
Rendered in oil on corrugated card, the work features Lel’s signature expressive brushwork and limited palette, creating a harmonious balance of tone and movement. The church spire in the centre of the village rises above the rooftops, anchoring the composition and suggesting a coastal town in Brittany or Normandy, regions frequently painted by the artist.
The warm glow of light on the water’s surface—tinted with peach and soft ochre—adds to the painting’s peaceful mood. The boats in the foreground, painted in cream, soft teal, and slate, create gentle diagonals that lead the viewer into the heart of the village beyond.
This painting would appeal to collectors of tranquil seascapes, French coastal villages, or those looking for art with a soft, reflective presence. Signed and dated, it stands out for its delicacy of tone, its romantic portrayal of twilight, and its balance of architectural and natural forms.

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.
