Description:
Titled Bateaux sur la plage à Dinard (Boats on the Beach at Dinard), this original oil by French artist Fanch Lel captures the luminous quality of coastal life in Brittany. Dinard, a celebrated seaside resort town on France’s Emerald Coast, has long attracted painters for its dramatic light, cliffs, and maritime activity—and this work offers a charming tribute to its quiet shoreline.
In the foreground, two beached sailboats rest on soft sand at low tide, their masts and rigging loosely defined against a dreamy backdrop of lavender cliffs and a muted peach-toned sky. Further out, a red-sailed vessel and two other boats float gently in shallow teal waters, suggesting the slow rhythm of life by the sea.
Lel’s impressionist style favours simplicity of form and atmosphere over tight detail, using warm shadows, delicate gradients, and expressive brushwork to evoke a calm, reflective mood. The soft pastels and bold lines create a harmonious scene that feels both peaceful and alive with subtle movement.
Perfect for collectors of French coastal art, sailing themes, or lovers of Dinard and the Breton coast, this painting carries the signature hallmarks of Fanch Lel’s style—capturing everyday beauty with grace and lightness.

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.
