Description: This vibrant French Impressionist oil painting captures a serene coastal scene featuring several small boats anchored in calm waters, with a lighthouse standing proudly atop a grassy, rocky shoreline. The painting is characterized by soft, pastel tones and loose, expressive brushstrokes, typical of Impressionist works. The lighthouse, painted in shades of pale blue and topped with a green dome, overlooks a charming small house nestled along the ridge. The reflection of the boats and shoreline in the rippling water creates a sense of tranquility, while the sky is filled with wisps of cloud, gently illuminated by the light of the sun. Fanch Lel skillfully conveys the peaceful atmosphere of this coastal retreat, with the lively brushwork and delicate use of color making this piece a striking example of mid-20th-century French coastal painting.
