Description:
In this serene impressionist harbour scene by Fanch Lel, two colourful fishing boats float gently in calm waters under a golden peach-toned sky. A tall white lighthouse rises from the pier on the right, its beacon capped in red and serving as the focal anchor of the composition. Soft, sweeping strokes of blush, amber, and grey lend the sky a dreamy quality, evoking the fading light of sunset.
The boats—one a mint green, the other a salmon pink with a touch of yellow—cast faint reflections in the water, while the surrounding marina is defined by pale blue and sage tones, painted in quick, gestural strokes. A pale yellow building and dock structure sit in the distance, alongside silhouettes of seabirds gliding across the sky, adding motion and life to the stillness of the water.
The composition captures the quiet rhythm of life in a coastal village—possibly inspired by Breton or Normandy harbours, known for their picturesque lighthouses and gently working ports. Lel’s loose, impressionistic style softens the architectural elements and lets colour and light tell the story.
This piece is perfect for collectors of French coastal art, harbour scenes, or interiors that benefit from light, airy tones with a nautical theme. Ideal for displaying in beach homes, reading nooks, or serene contemporary spaces.

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.
