In 1898, at the age of 15, Salvador Tuset officially enrolled at the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia, completing his studies in 1903. At the age of 27, he won a scholarship to study painting at the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. His classmates in Rome included, among others, José Capuz, Tomás Murillo, José Benlliure Ortiz, Moises de Huertas, Luis Benedito, Oroz, and Labrada. After his death, the city of Valencia named a street and a high school after him. In 1972, at the request of the Official Association of Drawing Teachers of Valencia (who were his students), the Valencia City Council erected a monument featuring his bust in the Alameditas de Serranos, a work created by his daughter Amparo under the direction of the sculptor and professor of Fine Arts Octavio Vicent.
