Abstract
RESUMEN:
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo definir la personalidad de los clientes que acudieron al taller de Luis Salvador Carmona para encargarle las esculturas de Ntra. Sra. del Socoro, que hoy se venera en la parroquia de Brozas (Cáceres), y las del Pilar y San Francisco Javier que hizo para la iglesia del Rosario, en el Real Sitio de San Ildefonso (Segovia). El profesor Martín González y Eileen Lord las atribuyeron, respectivamente, a la gubia del artista, aunque sin las aportaciones documentales que ahora presentamos. El primer encargo partió de la iniciativa de Tiburcio de Aguirre y Ayanz, y de Antonio Milón López los dos restantes. Ambos estuvieron directamente relacionados con el entorno de la reina Isabel de Farnesio, de cuya inclinación hacia el arte y la cultura en general se dejó influir Tiburcio de Aguirre, y de su lado más piadoso Antonio Milón, su confesor personal.

ABSTRACT.
This paper aims to define the persona of the clients who turned to the workshop of Luis Salvador Carmona to commission the sculpture of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, which is today located at the Parish of Brozas (Cáceres), as well as the sculptures of Our Lady of the Pillar and of Saint Francis Xavier, which were done for the Holy Rosary Church located in Real Sitio de San Ildefonso (Segovia). Professor Martín González, as well as Eileen Lord, both considered them to be the work of the aforementioned artist; however, they did so without the documentary proof that we are presenting here. The first work was commissioned by Tiburcio de Aguirre Ayanz, while Antonio Milón López was responsible for the initiative which was required for the other two. Both were directly related with all that which surrounded Queen Elisabeth Farnese at the time, whose inclination towards art and culture in general helped to influence Tiburcio de Aguirre, while the more devout Antonio Milón was her personal confessor.
