Description

Title: Fanch Lel; French Watercolour of Bridge and Church in a Tranquil Village Scene, 1996

Description: Title: French Watercolour of Countryside Church with Blue Roofs and Tall Spire by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) Signed: Yes Size: 7.75 inches (height) x 10.25 inches (width) Watercolor painting on card, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition, with some light discolouration near 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: In this elegant French watercolour by Fanch Lel, a rural church with striking blue rooftops and a tall, narrow spire rises above the trees and fields of the surrounding countryside. The composition is rendered in fresh, translucent washes of muted green, golden ochre, dusty mauve, and soft sky blue, creating a harmonious and peaceful palette. The artist's brushwork is loose yet precise, suggesting the architectural forms with minimal strokes while allowing the landscape to breathe with open space and light. The church, central and dignified, becomes a quiet focal point within the expansive scenery. Ideal for collectors of pastoral landscapes, ecclesiastical architecture, or tranquil rural scenes, this piece brings a subtle elegance and calm energy to any interior.
