Description:
This vivid coastal landscape by Fanch Lel captures a striking view of the Gulf of Ajaccio in Corsica, as seen from the road above. Painted in oil on board with gestural, impasto brushwork, the composition combines natural beauty with a scenic Mediterranean perspective. Three cypress trees rise at the right, their verticality contrasting the soft curves of pastel hills and distant shoreline.
In the foreground, layers of ochre, lavender, and green convey the rocky Corsican terrain, while the calm blue gulf glistens under the afternoon sky. Delicate white sails drift across the water, offering visual rhythm and movement to the serene panorama. The mountainous horizon is rendered in mauves and greys, blending into the sky with subtle tonal variation.
Corsica’s Gulf of Ajaccio is famed for its sweeping bays, warm light, and surrounding hilltop views—popular among both artists and travelers. Lel’s inscription on the reverse, “Vue de la route,” affirms this was a roadside perspective, typical of plein air works created on location.
This piece is ideal for collectors of Mediterranean landscapes, Corsican scenes, or impressionist coastal painting. Its romantic mood and balanced composition bring a breath of island air and a touch of French island life to any interior.

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.
