Luis Salvador Carmona

Luis Salvador Carmona (1708, Nava del Rey – 1767, Madrid) was a Spanish Baroque sculptor who came from a family of artists.

His first commissions as a professional involved stone work at several public buildings and sculptures for the Royal Palace (1750-1753).

His popularity was widespread and he worked in several locations outside Madrid, including Guipúzcoa, Seville and Navarra.

Although he had numerous assistants, it appears that they were closely supervised and that he provided the finishing touches to each work himself.

Among those who trained with him were his son, Bruno, who accompanied several scientific expeditions as an artist, his nephews Manuel and Juan Antonio, who became well-known engravers, and the sculptor Francisco Gutiérrez Arribas.
