Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ batist ləmwan]; 15 February 1704 – 25 May 1778) was a French sculptor of the 18th century who worked in both the rococo and neoclassical style. He made monumental statuary for the Gardens of Versailles but was best known for his expressive portrait busts.
