Alejandro Carnicero

Alejandro Carnicero (Íscar, 1693 - Madrid, 1756) was a Spanish sculptor of the Baroque period.

Carnicero collaborated on a five-year project with José de Larra to work on the choir-stalls of Salamanca Cathedral.

One of his finest moments as an engraver came in 1728, when the Carmelites of the Third Order commissioned him to create wooden figures of the Virgin of Carmen.

He followed this with a wooden figure of St Michael for the hospital of Navas del Rey, Castile.

After that Carnicero was commissioned to create three stone statues of Spanish kings for the Palacio Real in Madrid.
