Rendering some Sprites once while re-rendering others

[metafurionx]

My program maps and draws a huge grid of sf::Sprites for the background. Some of them are just static and some are animated. I want to draw the static ones only once and then keep redrawing only the animated ones.
However, sf::RenderWindow.clear() wipes the whole window.
How can I separate both processes so I don't touch the static ones?

Especially the red box at the end of the section.

How unfortunate.

If you run into performance issues, you can always use a vertex array to reduce the number of draw calls.

What problem are you trying to solve by not re-drawing static sprites?
