Victor Mignot (Brussels, 1872 - Paris, 1944) is a Belgian painter, engraver and illustrator. Close to Le Sillon, initially a book illustrator and contributor to the Belgian newspapers Le Cycliste Belge Illustrated and Le Petit Bleu, he began to produce, at the beginning of the 1890s, lithographed posters in the Art Nouveau style for La Libre Esthétique. In 1899, he collaborated with the illustrated magazine Cocorico. He exhibited at the Salon of French Artists from 1904 and until 1911, only etchings. In 1907 and 1909, he exhibited color prints at the Salon de la Société nationale des beaux-arts. He is a member of the Society of Original Black Engraving and of the Society of Original Color Engraving, in Paris, of L'Estampe, in Brussels and close to L'Estampe moderne. He settled in Paris around 1910 and devoted himself entirely to etching, exhibiting for example in 1923 at the Studio de la maison des maîtres engraveurs directed by Albert Morancé, rue de Fleurus. In 1931, his illustrated works were presented at the Paris International Art Book Fair.
