Description:
In this atmospheric composition, Fanch Lel captures the tranquility of a harbor at dusk, where a lighthouse stands tall amidst a gathering of moored boats. The lighthouse, painted in subtle whites and creams, serves as a beacon against a brooding, deep blue-purple sky, which hints at the transition between day and night. Lel’s mastery of light and shadow is evident in the yellow glow cast on the boats, their vibrant hues reflecting onto the calm waters below.
The boats themselves, painted in vivid yellows and oranges, contrast sharply against the dark water and sky, creating a visual rhythm across the scene. Each boat’s reflection ripples in the water, adding depth and movement to the otherwise still setting. The distant shoreline, brushed in earthy tones, frames the scene with a gentle curvature, enhancing the sense of enclosure within the harbor.
The painting's textured surface and muted yet expressive color palette evoke a quiet, contemplative mood, as though capturing a fleeting moment of peace before night fully descends.

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.
