Juan Antonio Salvador Carmona

He received his first lessons in Madrid from his brother, Manuel, who was studying with their uncle, the sculptor Luis Salvador Carmona.

He initially planned to be a sculptor himself, and accompanied his uncle to the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso, where they made plaster reliefs for the Pantheon there.

In 1772, he created some for a popular edition of The Conspiracy of Catiline, translated by the Infante, Sebastián Gabriel de Borbón, and published by Joaquín Ibarra.

Among his later engravings were portraits of King Charles IV, when he was still a prince, and his consort, Maria Luisa of Parma.

His last known work, from 1802, is an engraving of Saint Lawrence, dedicated to the Marqués de Ariza, the King's sommelier.
