Description:
This evocative still life painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a timeless and tranquil moment, offering a unique contrast to his more dynamic cityscapes and harbor scenes. Titled “Le bassin Jacques Cartier à St Malo,” this piece reflects Lel’s skillful balance of texture, color, and emotion—merging the serenity of a domestic setting with subtle geographic reference to the historic port city of Saint-Malo in Brittany, France.
The composition centers around a white bowl filled with warm-toned apples, rendered in soft coral and orange hues with hints of pink and sienna. Three apples sit outside the bowl, grounding the composition and adding depth. The loosely applied brushstrokes and softly layered textures give the painting a dreamlike quality, reminiscent of both Post-Impressionist and Fauvist sensibilities. The muted sage and blush background is alive with layered pigments and a rich painterly surface, inviting closer inspection.
Fanch Lel’s signature appears in the lower right corner, affirming the authenticity of this expressive and delicately balanced work. The reverse of the board includes the handwritten title and location, referencing the Jacques Cartier Basin—a quay area named after the famous explorer and located in the maritime heart of Saint-Malo. While this still life doesn’t depict the basin directly, the reference may suggest the setting where it was painted or the artist’s inspiration.
Ideal for collectors drawn to French modernist art, still life compositions, or works with historical references to Brittany, this painting brings both a quiet intimacy and an atmospheric connection to coastal France.

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 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.
