Pierre Bouillon (1776–1831) was a French painter and engraver. Born at Thiviers, he studied with the Académie-trained history painter Nicolas-André Monsiau.[1] He was awarded the grand prize of the Institut de France in July 1797 for his painting The Death of Cato of Utica.[2] He exhibited in the Salon in 1796, 1799, 1801, 1804, 1819, 1822, and 1824.[3]
As drawing instructor at the Lycée Louis Le Grand in Paris, he was a teacher of Théodore Géricault and perhaps also Eugène Delacroix.[3] He was employed extensively to make preparatory drawings for the engravings of Pierre Laurent's publication, Le Musée français; his drawing for Charles Clément Bervic's celebrated engraving[4] of the sculpture of Laocoön is among the 27 examples attributed to him in this work. Pierre Bouillon was also responsible for a publication devoted exclusively to the classical sculpture of the Louvre Museum, consisting of plates which he drew and etched himself, Le Musée des antiques ..., issued in 3 large folio volumes, 1811–1827.
