Description:
This 1999 oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel depicts the Archipelago of Chausey (Archipel de Chausey), a picturesque group of islands off the Normandy coast known for their serene tides, soft light, and rocky landscapes. In this moody and atmospheric seascape, Lel captures a quiet moment at low tide with dark volcanic rocks dominating the foreground, their textured forms painted in gestural, swirling strokes of charcoal grey and slate blue.
The sky is rendered in delicate gradients of lilac, soft grey, and blush pink, echoing the subtle light of dawn or dusk. In the distance, a trio of small white sailboats appears on the calm sea—silent punctuation against the pastel horizon. Behind them, a shadowy landmass stretches across the skyline, adding depth and anchoring the dreamy coastal setting.
Fanch Lel's impressionist style emphasizes atmosphere over precision, favouring emotional tone and visual harmony. His characteristic loose brushwork and muted palette evoke a sense of stillness and timelessness, ideal for collectors who appreciate meditative marine art and French coastal subjects. The Chausey Islands themselves are a treasured natural site, protected for their biodiversity and beloved by sailors, painters, and nature lovers alike.
This artwork would complement both contemporary and classic interiors, offering a quiet focal point that brings the serenity of the sea indoors. With its evocative mood and clear geographic reference, it is a striking piece for collectors interested in French seascapes, sailing scenes, or the coastal beauty of Normandy.

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.
