Pierre Bouillon (1776 – 15 October 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.[2] His drawing of Laocoön and His Sons was the basis of Charles Clément Bervic's celebrated print of the statue.[3]
