Village in Winter
signed by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
size: 15 x 21.5 inches
inscribed verso
oil painting on board, unframed

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.
This peaceful oil painting captures the quiet beauty of a rustic village nestled among barren trees, likely in late autumn or winter. The whitewashed cottages, with their thatched roofs, stand in stark contrast to the muted, gray-toned sky and surrounding landscape. In the distance, the spire of a church rises above the rooftops, adding a touch of verticality to the otherwise horizontal flow of the composition.
We are pleased to offer a significant collection of original works by Fanch Lel, a celebrated Breton artist known for his captivating depictions of Brittany’s landscapes, markets, and traditional life. 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.
