Description: This pastel-hued oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel presents a serene coastal harbour, with fishing boats moored gently on still waters, framed by a glowing sky and distant lighthouse. Painted in the artist’s signature impressionist style, this charming maritime scene balances structural detail with a poetic softness, evoking the stillness of early morning or late afternoon along the French coast. The composition is anchored by two white boats with red and teal accents, reflected clearly in the shimmering water below. The sky is rendered in broad, atmospheric strokes of soft pinks, blues, and creams—creating a dreamlike palette that harmonizes with the palette of the sea. A lighthouse rises in the background, acting as both a focal point and a symbolic element of guidance and solitude. Lel’s confident brushwork and broken color technique create a rich sense of texture and movement. Despite its impressionist looseness, the work captures architectural features and nautical forms with clarity, placing it firmly in the tradition of post-war French maritime art. This painting is perfect for collectors of seascapes and harbour scenes, as well as those with an appreciation for coastal villages and nautical charm. Its calming palette and inviting composition make it well-suited for both classic and contemporary interiors.
