Description:
This bold and textured gouache painting captures a quintessential European river scene with a charming stone bridge and clusters of white buildings reflected in calm water. Painted on a corrugated card surface, the work has a tactile, layered quality that adds visual energy and movement to the otherwise tranquil composition.
The focal point is a simple arched bridge spanning the river, beneath which a soft reflection distorts the buildings and sky. On either side, whitewashed facades with dark windows rise into the skyline, flanked by pops of orange rooftops and chimney pots. Lush greenery and golden-yellow brushstrokes frame the scene in the lower corners, suggesting a late spring or summer atmosphere.
The loosely rendered clouds swirl through a pale blue sky, their textured strokes echoing the layered surface of the support. Fanch Lel’s impressionist technique embraces abstraction here, allowing the viewer to interpret the scene intuitively while still conveying the peaceful charm of a riverside village—likely inspired by historic French towns such as Colmar, Dinan, or parts of Alsace.
Ideal for collectors who enjoy European travel scenes, rustic textures, and expressive painting styles, this piece is both evocative and full of character. It pairs well with interiors that celebrate eclectic charm, vintage décor, or artisanal aesthetics.

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.

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.
