Description:
This striking gouache painting by French artist Fanch Lel presents a stylised view of a coastal harbour town, with neat rows of pastel-toned buildings lining the waterfront and small boats gently moored in the calm blue water. The composition is divided into vertical bands of soft blues and greys, giving the work a graphic, almost cinematic feel—reminiscent of split light or shifting shadows across a tranquil scene.
To the right, a grand church tower rises above the rooftops, anchoring the piece and adding architectural interest. Pops of green in the trees bring balance to the cooler palette, and the careful reflections in the water below lend a serene sense of stillness. This work captures the quiet elegance of small-town life by the sea, drawing inspiration from Brittany or Normandy’s postcard-perfect ports.
Perfect for collectors of coastal scenes, architectural compositions, or anyone seeking a unique modernist approach to traditional French subject matter.

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.
