Salentin was a blacksmith for 14 years. In 1850 he came to the Düsseldorf Academy, where Wilhelm von Schadow, Carl Ferdinand son Adolph Tidemand were his main teachers. His paintings express sentimental, gemütvolle, scenes from rural life in the West German countryside, which by precise drawing and the use of clear colors in liquid treatment his work excels.

Currently, paintings of Salentin are owned by art galleries and collectors all over the world. Many original paintings can be viewed at Homemuseum in Zuelpich.
