About the Item

Title: Impressionist French Harbour Scene with Lighthouse and Fishing Boats at Piriac By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 10.5 x 7.5 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: In this dynamic coastal painting by Fanch Lel, the viewer is drawn into the quiet charm of Le Port de Piriac—a fishing harbour in Piriac-sur-Mer, a historic maritime town on the Atlantic coast of western France. A tall white lighthouse stands proudly on the quay as a fleet of moored boats bobs gently in the golden light. The reflections ripple across the calm sea surface, rendered in rich ochres, greens, and mauves that shimmer beneath the boats. Lel’s painterly technique features short, decisive brushstrokes and an impressionist palette, especially evident in the loose depiction of the sky with soft lilacs and blush tones. The central fishing boats, with their navy blue hulls and crimson accents, are balanced compositionally by the vertical lighthouse and soft horizon beyond. Piriac-sur-Mer is celebrated for its traditional granite architecture, beaches, and active fishing heritage. This painting captures a fleeting moment of stillness at the port—ideal for collectors of nautical art, French regional landscapes, or those who appreciate evocative harbour scenes with expressive brushwork.
