About the Item

Title: French Village Procession with Church Tower and Colourful Figures Under Blue Sky by Fanch Lel Size: 10.5 inches (height) x 8.5 inches (width) Medium: Oil on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with slight edge wear consistent with age. Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artist’s estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: This joyful oil painting captures a vibrant village procession unfolding beneath a crisp blue sky. Central to the composition is a grand stone church tower, possibly Romanesque in design, rising in soft greys and purples above a crowd of townspeople dressed in vivid oranges, blues, and whites. The loosely rendered architecture, expressive palette, and impasto texture are all characteristic of impressionist traditions, where atmosphere and movement take precedence over rigid detail. The figures, scattered across the sunlit square, are painted in dynamic dabs of colour that suggest festivity and collective celebration—perhaps a local fête, market day, or a moment following a religious ceremony. While the facial features are abstracted, their postures and arrangement communicate community and motion. The bright garments of the crowd contrast beautifully with the cooler tones of the buildings and pavement, creating an energetic yet balanced composition. The sky is rendered with broad, swirling strokes in soft blue and white, lending the painting a sense of lightness and air. The shadows on the church façades and the surrounding houses are executed in dusty purples and blues, anchoring the forms in space and time. Perfect for collectors of European village scenes, religious or historical subject matter, or lovers of impressionist compositions that celebrate communal life and colour.
