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.
