Description: This sunlit oil painting by Fanch Lel offers a serene view of the church of Lannion, a historic town located in the Côtes-d’Armor region of Brittany, northern France. Painted in 2006, the work captures the distinctive silhouette of the Église de Brélévenez, famed for its striking granite spire and steep approach. The church, framed by rustic rooftops and golden-hued foliage, rises elegantly into a sky rendered in soft blues and buttery creams. Lel’s expressive brushwork and warm colour palette infuse the scene with movement and harmony. The composition is structured around the ascending stone pathway that leads the viewer’s eye gently toward the church—inviting a sense of peaceful pilgrimage through this charming Breton village. The scattered light across the cobbled path and vibrant hedgerows creates a rhythmic play of shadow and warmth, typical of Lel’s impressionist handling. Lannion, with its blend of medieval architecture and natural beauty, is a favorite subject among painters of northern France. This painting would appeal to collectors interested in French village scenes, ecclesiastical architecture, or those with a connection to Brittany. Rich with atmosphere and heritage, it’s a timeless evocation of place and light.
