He trained at the Escuela Especial de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado in Madrid, and subsequently at the Accademia Chigi in Rome. He was in Rome in 1886 before moving to Paris.<BR><BR>Although he painted a number of orientalist compositions, it was Salinas' paintings of this variety, featuring courtly or ecclesiastical subjects in sumptuous settings, which made his reputation. As the present work demonstrates, Salinas' meticulous technique was perfectly matched with his obvious relish in recording luxurious textures, glints of gilding, lace, and satins and silks. An ambitious landscape by Salinas, <I>View of the Roman Campagna</B></I>, is in the permanent collection of the Prado Museum, Madrid.<B>Condition Report:</B> Excellent condition<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
