About the Item

Rustic Coastal Landscape by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) size: 9 x 10.5 inches double sided oil painting on board, unframed condition: the painting is in very good condition. It has previously been stored in the artists studio. 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 evocative coastal landscape painting, rendered in bold, expressive brushstrokes, captures a rustic scene of a horse-drawn cart making its way along a rugged shore. The textured application of paint gives the work a tactile, almost sculptural quality, drawing the viewer into the drama of the scene. The dark rocks and turbulent sky contrast with the bright blues of the ocean, creating a dynamic interplay between land, sea, and sky.

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.
