Peter Simon Lamine
Peter Simon Lamine (baptized October 28, 1738 in Mannheim ; † 1817 in Munich ) was a German sculptor of the late baroque and classicism and headed the Mannheim drawing academy between 1793 and 1804 .
Lamine was a student of the sculptor Peter Anton Verschaffelt . After completing his training, he completed several years of study in Vienna, Paris and Italy with the help of a scholarship from the Palatinate Elector Karl Theodor . At the beginning of 1771 Lamine returned from Rome to Mannheim, his native city. On April 24, 1771, he was appointed court sculptor with a fixed annual salary of 600 guilders. In the following years Lamine created, among other things, two sphinxes (1778) for the Schwetzingen palace gardens and grave slabs for Franz Albert Leopold von Oberndorff (1799) and Karl Benjamin List (1801).
Other works are the unfinished sculptures at Karlstor in Heidelberg. The life-size shepherd god Pan, enthroned on a group of rocks, is considered to be Lamine's main work, which he created for the Schwetzingen palace garden in eighteen months of work . On behalf of the Elector Maximilian I , Lamin took up this motif from 1774 in various ways. The flute-playing Pan with a billy goat made of Carrara marble has adorned the top of an artificial elevation at the outflow of the Great Lake not far from Badenburg in the Nymphenburg Palace Park since 1815/16 .
Political upheavals led to the closure of the Mannheim drawing academy in 1804 and Lamine's appointment to Munich, where he continued to teach sculpture at the local Academy of Fine Arts .
