Title: French Impressionist Village Landscape with Church and Red Roofs by Fanch Lel
By Fanch Les
Signed: Yes
Size: 19.25 x 20.5 inches (height x width)
Gouache painting on cardboard, unframed
Condition: Good overall condition for a vintage painting on card. There is a visible small tear in the lower right quadrant and general surface wear, consistent with the corrugated cardboard support. These signs of age do not detract from the image and add to its character as a plein air work.
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 peaceful village landscape by French artist Fanch Lel presents a striking view of a traditional stone church with a tall spire, surrounded by red-roofed houses and autumnal trees. The composition, painted on textured corrugated card, captures the rustic charm of rural France with warm earth tones and expressive brushwork.
The architecture suggests a Romanesque or early Gothic style, common in many French countryside villages, with the church likely serving as the focal point of a small commune. In the foreground, a fence line marks a pasture or open field, painted in light gouache and soft oil tones that blend harmoniously with the misty blue and orange sky.
Lel's distinctive impressionist style is evident in the spontaneous strokes and subtle colour variations, which give the piece a sense of atmosphere and emotional depth. This work likely depicts a village in central or western France, where similar spired churches and tiled rooftops dot the landscape.
Signed and dated 1994, this painting demonstrates the artist’s commitment to capturing everyday scenes with honesty and elegance. It would make a wonderful addition to any collection focused on French regional art, ecclesiastical architecture, or pastoral landscapes.

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.
