  Rubens Santoro was born in Mongrassano in the Calabria region of Italy in 1859 and began his apprenticeship with his two brothers in the studio of his father, Giovanni Battista Santoro. Santoro continued his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples under Domenico Morelli. He exhibited at the Esposizione Nazionale de Belle Arti, Turin; at the Paris Salon; the World's Columbian Exhbition, Chicago; and regularly in Venice, Rome, Barcelona and London. Santoro devoted much of his career to painting picturesque Venetian canal scenes. After 1880, Santoro began to paint color-saturated scenes depicting North Africa. His ability to capture the white sunlight of the Sahara transforms his small-scaled paintings into gem-like mementos of his travels.
  
  His work is in the collections of the Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums, Aberdeen; Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore; Cincinnati Art Museum, Museo Nazionale, Reggio Calabria and Museo Civico, Turin among others.
