Description:
This dreamy impressionist seascape by French artist Fanch Lel depicts a quiet coastal village, anchored by a pair of turreted stone buildings and small fishing boats docked along calm waters. Rendered in soft pastel tones of beige, cream, blush, grey, and pale green, the composition exudes an atmosphere of stillness and misty light—suggestive of dawn or dusk.
The artist uses confident, textural strokes on corrugated cardboard to evoke architectural form and shoreline movement. The boats in the foreground appear loosely sketched yet grounded in place, their dark silhouettes standing in contrast to the light-infused landscape. A slight haze softens the distant horizon, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the scene.
A subtle and evocative composition, this work captures the fleeting charm of a quiet fishing village. Its restrained palette and soft surface handling make it especially well-suited to collectors of atmospheric marine paintings or French post-war impressionist 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.
