SALM, B. Nicolas, German painter and black- and-white artist; born at Cologne in 1810, where he first studied ; several of his drawings were reproduced ; decorated the Giirzenich in 1835 with carnival scenes, and as a poitr.iit-painter made some success. He died at Aachen, where he tn.utcht drawing, in 1883.

SAL.MEG6IA, Enea, (Salmasio,) called II Talpino, painter, was born at Bergamo about the vear 1556, lie reuuivea iii.s iirst leaching at Cre- "raona, under the Canipi, but afterwards became a pcholar of Procaocini, at Milan. He also passed fourteen years at Rome, where he applied himself to the .study of Raphael. His pictures, of which there are many in his native town, have much sim- plicity and refinement. He died at Bergamo in 1626. Francesco and Ci.ara, the son and daughter of Enea Salraeggia, imitated their father's manner.

SAL51ER0N, Cristobal Garcia, a Spanish painter, born at Cuenca in 1G03. He was a pupil of Pedro On-ente, and proved a reputable history and animal painter. One of his best works is a 'Kativity,' in the church of St. Francis, at Cuenca. He was employed by Philip IV. to paint a bull- fight, held in honour of the birth-day of Charles II. of Spain. He died at Madrid in 1666.

S.LMERON, Francisco, brother of Cristobal Salmeron, was born at Cuenca in 1608, and was also a pupil of Pedro Orrente. His desire was to distinguish himself as acolourist, for which purpose, it is said, he chemically analyzed works by Titian, P. Veronese, Tintoretto, and the Bassani. He neg- lected the other essentials of art, and so, beside their good colour, his pictures exhibit very great defects. The church of S. Francisco at Cuenca has a ' Burial of Christ ' by him. He died at .Madrid in 163-2.

SALMIER JossE, a Flemish painter, probably a native of Mechlin, practising about 1620. He was related to the painter David fierregouts, to whom he gave his first lessons in art.

SALMINCIO, Andrea, engraver, was a native of Boiogna, where he was a bookseller. He learnt engraving from Giovanni Luigi Valesio, and pro- duced several engra^^ngs, both on wood and on copper, which he marked with a monogram similar to that of Ant. Sallaert.

SALMON, Adrien Alphonse, painter, bom in Paris ,in 1802, was a pupil of Lecourt, and entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1819. He was an occasional exhibitor at the .Salon, and at the Luxembourg, but was better known as a restorer of pictures. He last apjieared at the Salon in 1848.

He was for some time attached to the " Ecole Centrale" of the department of Loiret, and afterwards worked for forty-five years as a professor at the College uf Orleans. Several views by him of scenery in the neighbourhood of Orleans have been engraved and lithographed. He died at Orleans on the 10th March, 1855. The Musee of that city possesses examples of his work.

SALMON, Louis Adolphe, French painter and engravi-r ; born in Paris in 1806, where he studied at the Beaux Arts under Henrique!, Dupont, and Ingres ; he won the Grand Prix de Rome with his 'Academie d"apr6s Nature.'

SALMSON, Hugo Frederik, was bom at Stock- holm in 1843. He came to Paris and studied umier Charles Comte, and also settled there.

His 'A la Barrifere de Dalby, a Skane (Suede) ' hangs in the Luxembourg, for which also his ' Une Arrestation dans un Village de Picardie ' was acijuired. Other pictures by him are ' Chez Grandmfere ' and ' La Petite Glaneuse' (Stockholm National Museum). His studies of peasant life in Picardy and Sweden won him popularity by their dainty charm, capable draughtsmanship and refined treatment, but his work shows a lack of individuality.

His best works were illustrations to the Bible and to Ovid's ' Metamorphoses." He is said to have had a son, Jean Bernard, who practised the same art as hi.s father, and was called Giovanni Gallo, Johannes Gallus, &c.
