Impressionist Sunset Harbour Scene with Sailboats and Reflections in France

About the Item

Title: Impressionist Sunset Harbour Scene with Sailboats and Reflections in France by Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 8.25 inches (height) x 10 inches (width) (size excluding frame; 4.75 inches (height) x 6.25 inches (width)) Medium: Oil on board, framed 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 captivating Impressionist harbour painting by French artist Fanch Lel, dated 2006, is a luminous and atmospheric composition titled Reflets au port. Executed in a warm, complementary palette of coral pinks, golden yellows, and soft creams, the piece beautifully captures the glowing light of the early evening sun as it reflects off the water and façades of coastal buildings. The thick impasto brushstrokes and energetic dabs of paint lend the painting a vibrant texture and sense of movement that bring the calm waters and gently swaying boats to life. At the heart of the composition are two sailboats with warm-toned sails, gently floating in the harbour beside the creamy-toned houses with tiled roofs and shuttered windows. Their reflections dance below them, scattered in lively, painterly ripples. In the background, a charming row of French buildings lines the quay, rendered in soft pastels and punctuated by expressive, gestural details. The artist’s characteristic shorthand is on full display here, with just enough detail to suggest a bustling harbour scene while retaining a dreamlike quality that leaves room for the viewer’s imagination. This original painting would be a stunning addition to any collection of French coastal artwork, vintage European landscapes, or 20th-century Impressionism. Fanch Lel’s unique combination of bold expressiveness and romantic nostalgia makes this a highly collectible piece. Whether hung in a light-filled kitchen, a coastal-inspired living space, or a hallway in need of a splash of warmth and charm, this harbour scene is sure to captivate viewers with its evocative beauty.
