Haystack Landscape signed by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) size: 13 x 21.5 inches oil painting on board, unframed condition: the painting is in very good condition. It has previously been stored in the artists studio. 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. This vibrant impressionist painting, titled "Retour de pêche en Bretagne" (Return from Fishing in Brittany), is an evocative portrayal of a serene coastal village in Brittany, France. Painted by Franch Le L in 2006, the artwork captures a quintessential moment of daily life as fishermen return from the sea. Two colorful boats rest ashore, while a figure dressed in a bright red jacket walks along the rocky shoreline, creating a sense of movement and purpose. This delightful oil painting presents a tranquil rural scene featuring two large haystacks resting in a sunlit field. Painted in an impressionistic style, the artwork captures the essence of a quiet countryside, bathed in soft light and natural hues. The haystacks, depicted in warm earthy tones, stand out against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, conveying the peaceful, slow-paced rhythm of rural life. 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.
