Description:
This atmospheric oil painting captures a misty coastal harbour scene filled with softly bobbing fishing boats and swooping gulls, painted in a loose impressionist style. Fanch Lel’s 1999 work brings together expressive brushwork and a harmonious pastel palette—muted aquas, warm browns, greys, and touches of lavender—to create a richly textured maritime composition.
The fishing vessels anchor the foreground with their rounded hulls and vertical masts, while delicate white seagulls float midair, their wings catching the light. In the background, coastal buildings emerge from the haze, blending into the soft grey-green cliffs and shoreline beyond. The artist’s technique evokes the shifting weather and reflective water of a peaceful northern European port town.
This painting is perfect for collectors of French coastal art, vintage nautical works, or interiors needing a touch of calm movement and character. Its energy lies in the suggestion of sea breeze and early morning light—ideal for a beach house, study, or contemporary rustic setting.

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.
