About the Item

Title: Impressionist Lighthouse Scene with Beached Fishing Boats and Dramatic Sky By Fanch Les Size: 15 x 18.25 inches (height x width) Oil painting on cardboard, 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: This striking oil painting by Fanch Lel captures a dramatic coastal moment as two beached fishing boats sit beside a towering lighthouse under a churning sky. Painted in expressive brushwork, the sky roils with swirling strokes of grey, peach, cream, and coral—evoking turbulent weather or the last light before a storm. The water below is rendered in cool turquoise and aqua tones, contrasting beautifully with the warmth of the sky and the neutral sands of the shoreline. The lighthouse, with its rust-colored cap and tall white tower, stands as the central anchor of the composition—steady amidst the motion of the clouds and the quiet inertia of the abandoned boats. The hulls of the vessels are tipped and weathered, with subtle hints of yellow, ochre, and charcoal, their reflections barely visible in the shallows. The subject and style are reminiscent of Brittany's rugged coastal towns, where weathered fishing boats and solitary lighthouses define the maritime character of the region. The thick brushstrokes and layered palette are classic hallmarks of Lel’s impressionist technique, which emphasizes feeling over detail. This painting is ideal for collectors of nautical art, French coastal scenes, or those drawn to expressive depictions of man versus nature. Its muted drama and strong central forms make it a powerful yet contemplative statement piece.
