Description:
This dreamlike cityscape by French artist Fanch Lel offers a soft and poetic glimpse of what appears to be the Paris skyline, featuring architectural domes and spires that echo the forms of landmarks such as the Panthéon or Notre Dame. Rendered in delicate washes of pale violet, dove grey, and warm amber, the composition is intentionally hazy—imbuing the scene with a nostalgic, almost memory-like atmosphere.
The buildings are mirrored in the calm waters below, likely the Seine, where Fanch Lel has allowed the paint to blur and bleed, reinforcing the ephemeral quality of light and shadow. A subtle abstraction of form allows viewers to emotionally interpret rather than analytically read the city, in line with post-Impressionist traditions. This treatment makes the work highly atmospheric, perfect for collectors seeking quiet drama and French elegance.
Paris, long a muse for artists, is depicted here not through bustling cafés or monumental detail, but as a soft-edged reflection—almost a visual whisper. This refined piece would pair beautifully with modern interiors or romantic, antique-framed gallery walls. The restrained palette and fluid brushwork make it a contemplative addition to any space.

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.
