Pierre Philippe Mignot

Pierre-Philippe Mignot (1715 - December 24, 1770) was a French sculptor.

At the Academie royale de peinture et de sculpture (Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture), he was a pupil of Antoine Francois Vasse (father of Louis-Claude Vasse), and Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne. He won the Prix de Rome second prize for sculpture in 1738 for David presente a Satil and in 1739 for Jezebel mangee par ses chiens both in bas-relief, and the first grand prix in 1740 with Abigail aux pieds de David. He was a resident at the Villa Medici between June 1742 and November 1743. Mignot returned to France in July 1746, and submitted 1747 Sleeping Venus to the Academie, but never became an academician. He exhibited at the Salon in Paris from 1757 to 1765.
