Title: Fanch Lel; French Impressionist Coastal Village Scene with Boats and Stormy Sky Description: Title: Impressionist Harbour Scene with Boats and Stone Bridge in La Trinité sur Mer By Fanch Les Signed: Yes Size: 15.25 x 19.5 inches (height x width) Oil painting on cardboard, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present. 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 impressionist harbour view by Fanch Lel captures the coastal town of La Trinité-sur-Mer, a beloved fishing port and sailing destination in southern Brittany. The painting shows a lively marina scene with small moored fishing boats reflected in calm waters, while a row of traditional Breton houses rises above the stone arched bridge that spans the harbour’s edge. The cloudy sky and muted light lend the scene a soft, overcast atmosphere, typical of the region’s coastal weather. Brushstrokes in pink, peach, slate grey, and faded turquoise evoke both the texture of the architecture and the shimmer of the sea. Lel’s loose style conveys the atmosphere of a lived-in port town, alive with history, wind, and salt air. In the foreground, tree trunks and loosely painted figures hint at daily movement—perhaps fishermen returning, or townspeople observing the tide. The inscription on the back confirms the specific location, making this a highly collectable and geographically relevant piece for lovers of French maritime towns. Ideal for collectors of coastal landscapes, vintage travel-inspired scenes, or impressionist paintings of Brittany. A wonderful addition to homes with nautical, French, or rustic interior themes.
