SALINI, ToMMASO, Cavaliere, painter, born at Rome in 1570 or 1575, was the son of a Florentine sculptor, who placed him under the tuition of Baccio Pintelli, an artist of little note. He became a respectable painter of history, and also painted flowers and fruit with considerable success. He died at Rome about 1630.

SALIS, Carlo, was born at Verona in 1080. and first studied at Bologna under Giuseppe da I'Sole. but he afterivards became a disciple of Antonio Balestra, at Venice, whose style he imitated witij success. His best picture is an altar-piece at Ber- gamo, representing S. Vincenzio healing the Sick. He died in 1763.

SALISBURY, — , was a popular painter, living in London at the time of the Restoration. He was a friend of Pepys, who mentions him several times in his Diary, and in 1662 writes that Salisbury has 'grown in less than two years' time so great a limner that he is become excellent, and gets a deal of money at it."

SALLAERT. Antonie, (Salaert, or Sallaerts,) was born at Brussels about the year 1590. He was inscribed, as an apprentice, on the corporation book of the Brussels painters in 1606. His master, Michael de Bordeau, also taught Philippe de Cham- pagne. Sallaert was admitted master in 1613. Sallaert enjoyed the friendship of Rubens, whose pupil he is asserted, but without evidence, to have been. He was Dean of the Painters' Guild in 1633-4, 1634-5, 1646-7 and 1647-8, so that his death can- not have taken place prior to l(i48, but its exact date is unknown. Pictures :

He usually marked his prints with the cipher pL* [ ATI Sometimes with the border, some- times without Brulliot denies that he engraved on wood ; but a set of the Four Evangelists and an ' Ecce Homo' bear his mark.
