Description:
This vibrant impressionist oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel presents a luminous view of a harbourside town, likely inspired by a coastal village in the Provence region of southern France. Rendered in a richly textured impasto technique, the work captures a row of whitewashed buildings with terracotta rooftops stretching across the waterfront. Reflections ripple gently across the water, mingling soft blues, creamy whites, and pops of ochre and red, suggestive of moored boats and sun-dappled walls.
A handwritten inscription on the reverse reads “en Provence,” indicating the likely setting and enhancing the work’s appeal for collectors drawn to southern France’s picturesque towns. The surrounding mountains and bright sky create a sense of stillness and clarity, while the energetic brushwork brings movement and warmth to the composition.
Lel’s work is marked by its balance of abstraction and architectural structure—here, windows, rooftops, and boats are loosely suggested rather than strictly rendered, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. This painting would make a striking addition to any interior, especially for those who appreciate French coastal art, Mediterranean colour palettes, or expressive interpretations of travel and place.
Whether hung in a modern or traditional space, this piece offers both atmosphere and artistic texture, inviting the viewer into a fleeting, sunlit moment by the sea.

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.
