Procesiune în Franța is a 1920 by Elena Popea, held at Brașov Art Museum.
This painting shows a busy crowd of people outdoors, packed together. Some wear light clothes, others darker ones, and a few hold flags—one bright red. Faces are blurred, but you can see hands, hats, and a mix of pale and earthy colors. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving it a rough, textured look. The title means "Procession in France," but the scene feels more like a festival or gathering. The thick paint suggests the artist used *impasto*, where paint is laid on heavily so you can almost feel the texture. Check out the *impasto* technique to see how artists use paint like this.
Elena Popea (15 April 1879, Brașov – 19 June 1941, Bucharest) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian Modernist painter whose influences included Impressionism, Expressionism and Cubism.
