Francisco Rodríguez Sánchez Clement Copy. Official Title (in French). Official Title (in English) Fire Dancer. Absolutely beautiful and enchanting framed oil painting on canvas depicting a Gypsy Flamenco dancing by fire with a group of shadowy Gypsies looking on. This is a very painterly replica of a Francisco Rodríguez Sánchez Clement F. I have viewed images of the rarely seen original painting, which is in a private collection, and this replica art is remarkably accurate. Measures: 20.5H x 25.5W; Frame: 26.5H x 32W. Painting Condition: Very good, a few minor cracks by feet (see photo). Frame: Some small chips in paint around edging (see photo). Clement graduated from Academia de Bellas Aretes de Madrid. He was influenced by his native culture and in particular the gypsy tradition. He spent a lot of time traveling with caravans of gypsies, a dream he had since childhood. Together, they crossed Europe and along the way he captured, through sketches and paintings, the essence and magic of the rich life which surrounded him. During this time, he learned much about music and dance, which further fueled the passion of his paintings. His work did not only celebrate individuals and their surroundings but transmuted the mystic tales of the passion and soul, which was the nature of the gypsy. Upon returning to Spain, he faced adversity. Unable to find sufficient encouragement from the salons and exhibitions in his own country, he made the decision in his mid-twenties to go to Paris to seek his fame and fortune. There among other artists he felt greater freedom and continued to follow his love of figure painting. He has an excellent sense of color, which gives strength to his vigorous style of drawing. Most of his pictures portray the wild rhythm of the flamenco dancers and many with a group of dimmly lit shadowy figures in the background. In every subject, he illustrates pulsating life. Since the exhibitions of his paintings in the salons of Paris and around Europe, he has become known as the pictorial storyteller of his heritage. His works have been published in distinguished art catalogs and have enriched several public and private collections throughout the world.
