About the Item

Title: Impressionist Village Landscape with Church Tower and Cypress Trees By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 16.5 x 22.5 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with minor signs of wear and handling along the edges consistent with age. Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: This luminous landscape by French painter Fanch Lel captures a serene village vista, executed in a distinctly Post-Impressionist style. Signed and dated 1999, the composition is infused with soft, warm light and a pastel-toned palette that evokes the changing seasons in southern France. The scene presents a sweeping view of a tiled-roof village nestled among blossoming trees, with a church tower rising elegantly in the distance. A dramatic, dark cypress tree anchors the right of the composition, its rich greens and blacks creating a striking vertical contrast to the horizontal layers of rooftops and the winding hillside path in the foreground. Lel's brushwork is expressive and varied, with thick, textured dabs of lilac, peach, rose, and turquoise bringing the foreground foliage to life. The rooftops glow with ochre and coral hues, suggesting late afternoon sunlight, while the sky above is washed in gentle lavender and cream tones. The painting’s perspective and gestural strokes guide the viewer’s eye along the village rooftops toward the steeple, conveying both depth and harmony. Despite the abstraction of forms, the mood is unmistakably tranquil, poetic, and evocative of a calm, flowering countryside. Ideal for collectors of European landscapes, contemporary impressionism, or vibrant yet peaceful scenes, this piece pairs beautifully with interiors that favor natural tones, organic textures, and soft light. It offers a timeless glimpse of rural French charm, lovingly rendered by an artist with a practiced eye for color and atmosphere.
