Description:
This evocative oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel presents a sweeping impressionist view of the Italian hill town of Monte Maggiore, nestled beneath a soft blue mountain range. The scene is dominated by a tall, slender bell tower rising from terracotta-roofed buildings, with soft peach and cream tones suggesting warm Mediterranean light. A winding path leads into the village from the foreground, where two small figures add life and movement to the otherwise tranquil setting.
To the right, a twisted olive tree anchors the composition, its expressive brushstrokes contrasting with the misty, layered background. Behind the village, a dramatic ridge of blue-grey mountains adds depth and atmosphere to the scene. Lel’s use of muted tones with occasional bursts of coral and green gives the painting a dreamlike quality, reminiscent of early 20th-century French and Italian landscapes.
Monte Maggiore refers to several locations in Italy, including a well-known mountainous area in the Lazio region. Whether capturing a real village or evoking an idealized memory of Italian travel, this piece channels the charm and serenity of traditional southern European architecture and countryside life. A perfect choice for collectors who appreciate travel-inspired art or romantic rural scenes painted with expressionist flair.

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.
