Joanny Durand
Danseuse de Flamenco – Bronze by Joanny Durand (1886–1955)

20th century

About the Item

This captivating bronze sculpture by French artist Joanny Durand (1886–1955) depicts a flamenco dancer in mid-motion, her body swirling with grace and energy. The composition captures the vibrant and expressive movement of traditional Spanish dance, with the dancer’s extended arm and swirling dress suggesting rhythm, emotion, and elegance. Durand’s modelling is rich and textured, with expressive detailing in the folds of the fabric and the soft yet dynamic posture of the figure. The work is cast in bronze with a nuanced brown-green patina, characteristic of early 20th-century French sculpture. This example was executed using the lost-wax method by the renowned founder Frédéric Carvillani, active between 1907 and 1925, further testifying to the sculpture’s authenticity and quality.
