Juan Bernabé Palomino

Juan Bernabé Palomino y Fernández de la Vega (1692, Córdoba - 1777, Madrid) was a Spanish engraver.

Sometime before his uncle's death in 1726, he was already at his workshop in Madrid, reproducing some of his designs and drawings in print and looking after the plates for the second volume of El Museo pictórico y escala óptica.

According to Juan Agustín Ceán Bermúdez, he returned to Córdoba that year and perfected his technique by carefully observing and imitating the works of other teachers.

It also mentions some paintings he had made, although nothing currently exists other than his engravings, save two apostles' heads drawn in pastels, which are preserved at the Academia.

His son, Juan Fernando Palomino [es], also became a well known engraver and followed his father as an official of the Academia.
