Description:
This captivating impressionist oil painting by Fanch Lel depicts a tranquil canal scene in Venice, Italy, bathed in warm sunlight. A gently arched stone footbridge crosses the narrow canal, framed by tall ochre, coral, and terracotta-toned buildings typical of Venetian architecture. The brushwork is loose and atmospheric, capturing the romantic essence of Venice’s quiet alleyways away from the tourist bustle.
Reflections ripple softly in the water below, painted in muted greens, golds, and peachy tones, evoking the city's famous interplay of light and reflection. The facades of the buildings rise vertically on either side of the canal, forming a canyon of warm hues that glows under a pale Venetian sky. Lel’s technique blends impressionist colour play with a soft architectural structure, allowing the mood and setting to speak louder than precise detail.
The composition draws the eye into the canal, across the bridge, and toward a sunlit courtyard beyond, conjuring the feel of wandering Venice’s hidden corners. Perfect for collectors who love Italian landscapes, Venetian cityscapes, or the romantic charm of European travel art.
This piece would suit classic or contemporary interiors, especially in spaces that appreciate cultural richness, architectural art, or soft warm palettes.

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.
