SALVADOR GOMEZ, Vicente, was a native of Valencia, and pupil of Jacinto de Espinosa. At the age of fourteen he is recorded to have painted a series of pictures from the life of St. Ignatius Loyola, which gained him enough reputation to keep him fully employed in the Valentian churches and convents for the rest of his life. He was a skilful painter of birds and animals, also of arclii- lecture; and his colour was pleasing. In 1670 he was the Director of an academy held in the convent of St. Dominic, and in 1675 he executed ten scenes from the lives of St. Juan de Mala and St. Felix de Valois for the choir of the church of El Remedio.

SALVATORE D'ANTONIO, the author of a panel in San Niccolo, Messina, painted at the close of the 15th century, representing St. Francis re- ceiving the stigmata, is thought by some to have been the father of Antonello da Messina, but no records of his life or death exist. The latest opinion would make him the pupil of Antonello.

SALVESTRINI, Bartolommeo, a Florentine painter of the 17th century, one of the most suc- cessful imitators of Jan Bilivert. He died while Btill young, a victim to the plague of 1630.

SALVI, Giovanni Battista, called II Sasso-I'ERRA'I'O from his birthplace in the March of An- cona, born in 1605, the son of a painter, Tarquinio Salvi. He is usually classed among the followers of the Carracci, and is said to have been more especially influenced by Domenichino at Naples. At Rome, where the greater part of his life was spent, he produced a large number of pictures, one of the best being an .iltar-piece for the Dominicans of Sta. Sabina on the Aventine, representing the Madonna del Rosario with SS. Catherine and Dominic ; the picture was stolen in the summer of 1901, but was shortly after recovered and restored to its place. His works, mostly Ma- donnas, are very frequently met with in public and private collections. His free copies after Raphael, Titian, Perugino and other masters are occasionally of great merit, being far superior to his original works, which have all the defects of the late 17th century, and are often chalky and unpleasant in colour. Among his best-known paintings are the following :

Bremen. Frau Burger- } The Bladonna in prayer. One meister Liirman. J of the best examples of this composition, which he frequently repeated. Other examples in London, at Dresden, Munich, .Madrid and elsewhere. Sleep of the Infant Saviour. Other examples at Madrid, Paris and elsewhere. His orni Portrait. The Immaculate Conception. The Workshop of St. Joseph. Adoration of the Shepherds, The Cruciiixiou. Dresden. Florence. Milan. XapU'S. Gallery. Uffizi. Brera. Jlusemn.

SALVIN, Anthony. The exquisite quality of the pencil and pen-and-ink drawings made by this architect demand that he should find a place in 'Bryan's Dictionary.' His work as an architect was of very high merit, aud many notable buildings stand as his memorial. Perhaps one of his greatest
