Description:
This evocative coastal painting offers a nostalgic glimpse into the traditional fishing life of Erquy, a small harbour town nestled along the dramatic northern coast of Brittany. Rendered in rich textured brushwork and soft impressionist tones, the composition centres around two fishermen foraging among shoreline rocks while a weather-beaten boat lies beached on the sand to the right. The bright orange top of a distant lighthouse anchors the horizon and adds a burst of contrast to the misty sky swirling with movement.
Every brushstroke speaks of motion — from the gentle push of waves against the shore to the rolling clouds overhead. This piece captures a fleeting moment in time, just after low tide, when the light is soft, the colours are subdued, and life continues at a gentle rhythm. The expressive textures and diffused palette evoke the salty air, distant gulls, and steady labour of coastal life.
Scenes like this are central to the cultural identity of Brittany, and the work pays tribute to a timeless way of living — one shaped by resilience, nature, and tradition. Whether you have a personal connection to the French coastline or simply appreciate maritime scenes filled with atmosphere, this piece adds a sense of calm nostalgia and enduring beauty 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.
