Provenance
Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 22 June 2000, lot 66.
Acquired from the above sale by the present owner.

Juan Pablo Salinas was born in Madrid in 1871 where he began his formal training in painting at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1886, he moved to Rome where he joined his artist brother, Augustin Salinas y Teruel, and took up classes at the Chigi Academy. Here, the brothers found themselves amongst the charismatic community of Spanish artists centred around Mariano Fortuny and Eduardo Rosales. Salinas settled in the city, and it is here that he spent most of his working life.

Although Salinas painted a broad range of subjects throughout his career, most of which being painted from life or inspired by his travels through Italy, he really found his audience with his minutely detailed genre and figurative subjects, often with an emphasis on flamboyant costumes and gestures. The subjects of Salinas's work were often taken from everyday life in Spain and Italy, however he also painted more staged historical genre scenes, often with 18th century subject matter. In all instances, he was able to imbue his work with a real sense of drama and theatre, often achieved through a combination of stage-like composition and rich, fanciful brushwork.
