About the Item

Title: Impressionist Reflections of a French Chateau in Soft Lavender Light with Moat By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 10.75 x 13.5 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with minor signs of wear and handling along the edges consistent with age. Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: This captivating impressionist oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel depicts a fairytale-like château bathed in the soft, diffused light of early dusk. Its turrets, spires, and grand slate rooflines are mirrored in the still waters of a surrounding moat, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the composition. Painted in a soothing palette of purples, mauves, pale golds, and minty greens, the piece radiates a sense of quiet romance and timeless grandeur. Though the château itself is not explicitly identified, its twin turreted entrance and symmetrical structure echo many historic châteaux found throughout the Loire Valley or Normandy. These iconic French architectural forms have long inspired painters for their balance of strength and beauty, and Lel’s loose brushwork allows the atmosphere to take centre stage. Reflections ripple across the foreground water, broken only by gentle painterly gestures and highlights that suggest lily pads or reeds. The artist’s choice to keep the sky subdued in lavender tones allows the building to glow with inner warmth. Lel captures not only the physical structure, but also the serenity of a moment – a pause between day and evening. The vertical forms of trees at right provide balance and contrast against the soft horizontal wash of the moat. A beautiful acquisition for lovers of French architecture, impressionist technique, and romantic landscapes, this work would complement both traditional and modern interiors alike.
