His parents were already permanently settled in Nymburk, named Joseph George Kramolín (1706 - 1733) and Barbara, née White (1701-1751).
After Prague began besieging Prussians he briefly returned to Nymburk, then soon went to Kutná Hora, in seminars at the church to complete his education.
In 1757 he went to Vienna, where on 5 October 1757 he studied at Hofakademie der Maler, Bildhauer und Baukunst (Imperial and Royal Court Academy of painters, sculptors and architecture).
At the Vienna Academy he remained only a few months, and in April of the following year was admitted as a novice in the Jesuit order in Prague.
Between 1760 - 1770 he was listed as a lay brother in college at St. Clement in the Old Town of Prague (Clementinum), in 1771 again at St. Nicholas, and in 1772 in Chomutov.
