By Fanch Lel
Size: 19.75 x 24 inches (height x width)
Oil painting on cardboard, unframed
Condition: Good condition overall with minor surface handling marks and light wear to edges, consistent with its medium and vintage character. Painted on corrugated card, which adds visible texture and depth.

Description:
In this vibrant impressionist oil painting by Fanch Lel, the viewer is transported to the romantic waterways of Venice, Italy. The scene depicts a canal bustling with gondolas in the foreground, with the grand dome and neoclassical facade of what appears to be the Church of San Simeone Piccolo rising prominently in the distance. Painted on corrugated board, the work captures both the architectural splendour and the everyday rhythm of Venetian life.
The artist uses soft pastel tones—peach, sage green, dusty turquoise, and golden beige—to evoke the sunlit glow of Venice’s historic facades. The gentle brushwork and layered palette suggest both reflection on the water and the texture of aged stone. Lel's treatment of the figures is loose and gestural, focusing more on mood and movement than realism, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the piece.
Gondoliers are seen steering their elegant boats while pedestrians on the promenade suggest a lively urban energy. Despite the activity, the overall feel is relaxed and elegant—a hallmark of Lel’s impressionist style. The verticality of the church dome anchors the scene while the broad brushstrokes and abstracted buildings frame the canal in a rich, immersive composition.
Perfect for collectors of Venetian views, architectural art, or impressionist cityscapes, this work offers a transportive glimpse of Venice’s charm and grandeur through a French lens.

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.

Please note that in situ images are purely an indication of how a piece may look.
Venetian Canal is an original Trevor Waugh oil painting. The highly contrasted colours in the water and narrow perspective created by the positioning of the walls in the foreground give the piece an authentic feel of the city.
Trevor Waugh was born in 1952 and grew up in London. Trevor studied at The Slade School of Fine Art from 1970 -1974 (BA) under the guidance of Sir William Coldstream, Professor of The Slade at the time, Patrick George, Philip Sutton...
