Manuel Salvador Carmona

Manuel Salvador Carmona (20 May 1734 – 15 October 1820) was a Spanish engraver, designer and illustrator.

Later, he studied in París, learning the burin technique from Nicolas-Gabriel Dupuis and becoming married to Marguerite Legrand.

In 1762, with his reputation at its height, he returned to Madrid, presenting himself at the Academia with a request to be named "honorary director".

This was not granted but, in 1764, he was named an Academician of Merit and, in 1777, upon the death of Juan Bernabé Palomino, he became Director of Engraving.

Among his notable students were his brother, Juan Antonio, José Gómez de Navia, Manuel Alegre [es], Luis Fernández Noseret and Fernando Selma.
