Description:
Rendered in a palette of golden ochres, muted mauves, and warm earthy tones, this atmospheric harbour scene captures the quiet beauty of a European coastal town at sunset. Painted in oil on board, the scene features softly defined boats bobbing in the still water of a marina, with their reflections gently mirrored below. Behind them, a row of tall, tightly packed buildings creates a warm backdrop, their facades glowing under the fading evening light.
A tall church steeple and a prominent white tower break up the town’s silhouette, helping to locate the scene in northern France—possibly inspired by ports such as Honfleur or Dieppe, known for their medieval architecture and maritime character. The foreground boat is loosely rendered, with thick brushwork and subtle colour shifts that suggest movement and texture without becoming overly defined. Lel’s impressionist approach captures not only the form of the harbour, but the feeling of stillness and light at day’s end.
This painting is ideal for collectors who appreciate coastal or nautical themes, vintage European views, or impressionist works that evoke a mood through palette and atmosphere rather than precision. The overall effect is romantic and nostalgic, with a painterly softness that allows the viewer to interpret the scene and step into its quiet charm.

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.
