Pierre-Nolasque Bergeret (Bordeaux, 1782 - Paris, 1863) was a French painter, pioneer as a lithographer and designer in the first half of the 19th century.
He was born in Bordeaux on January 30, 1782, where he received his first drawing and painting classes from Pierre Lacour, then he moved to Paris working in the François-André Vincent and Jacques-Louis David workshops where he met François Marius Granet and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Bergeret played an important role in the introduction of lithography, in part through his reproductions of paintings by Nicolas Poussin and Rafael, as well as his lithograph Mercury (1804), a reproduction of a detail of the fresco by Rafael existing in Villa Farnesina, but also making a caricature of Parisian fashion in Le Suprême Bon Ton Actuel from 1805, which is one of the earliest examples of lithographic technique.
Among his official commissions is the design of the Napoleonic medals or grisaille cartons for the Sèvres porcelains, as well as the drawings for the bas-reliefs on the Vendôme Square column. The themes of his paintings are based on anecdotes, he was one of the first to make drawings imitating the culture of the Renaissance in the so-called Troubadour style. It also dealt with allegorical themes and representations of events of the French Empire. He died on February 21, 1863 in Paris.
