About the Item

Title: French Landscape of the Gulf of Ajaccio Corsica with Trees and Sailboats By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 8.5 x 10.75 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present. 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 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.

"Dalmatian Coast (Near Dubrovnik)" Oil Painting
By Ulrich Gleiter
Located in Denver, CO
Ulrich Gleiter's (EUR based) "Dalmatian Coast (Near Dubrovnik)" is an oil painting that depicts a blue coast lined with green textural beaches. Bio/Artist Statement: German-born artist Ulrich Gleiter (b. 1977) is noted for his landscapes. His style is sometimes reminiscent of German expressionism and the Russian impressionists. He first studied at the Dresden Academy of Arts and later at the Repin Academy in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His work has been recognized with awards in the USA and in Russia and been featured in books and magazines. "Ulrich Gleiter is a citizen of the world. Born in Saarbrücken, Germany, he pursued his undergraduate studies at Dresden’s Academy of Fine Arts, where he learned to paint with the bold, colorful strokes handed down from the early 20th-century German expressionists. Students there prioritized their individuality — no one but you could have made this picture, they were told. Gleiter then absorbed a different view of artistry during his exchange year at Moscow’s Surikov Institute, followed by six more years at the Repin Institute in St. Petersburg. Today Gleiter divides time between Germany, Russia, and the United States, where he has become much admired among plein-airists in such scenic places as Colorado, California, and Wyoming. In our era of diplomatic tensions, when Crimea and Russia appear regularly in the headlines, Gleiter feels a renewed appreciation for nature’s timelessness — for its inspiring capacity to rise above the ins-and-outs of man-made problems. Today, he says, “I often think about the history of an area where I am painting, about how many troubles and beautiful things may have happened there. Most importantly, I am humbled to observe how natural forces never stop moving.” Gleiter turns his searching eye not only to wilderness, but also to the banalities of urban life — to parked cars, the glinting sprawl of an automobile dealer’s lot, retail stores, and even cargo ships. There, too — as in his portraits, nudes, and still lifes — he manages to find abstracted beauty and emotional significance in the interactions of light, color, and air."
