Peter Simon Lamine was a German sculptor who lived during the late Baroque and Classicist periods. He was born in Mannheim in 1738 and died in Munich in 1817. Lamine studied under Peter Anton Verschaffelt and later received a scholarship from Palatine Elector Karl Theodor, which allowed him to study in Vienna, Paris, and Italy. After returning to Mannheim in 1771, he was appointed court sculptor with a fixed annual salary of 600 gulden.
Lamine's notable works include two sphinxes for the Schwetzingen Palace Garden and the life-size sculpture of the shepherd god Pan enthroned on a group of rocks for the Schwetzingen Palace Garden. The latter was commissioned by Elector Maximilian I, and Lamine worked on variations of the sculpture for several years. The final version has adorned the crest of an artificial ground elevation at the outlet of the Great Lake in Nymphenburg Palace Park since 1815/16.
In 1793, Lamine became the head of the Mannheim Academy of Drawing, a position he held until 1804 when political turmoil led to the academy's closure. He then moved to Munich, where he continued to teach sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts until the end of his life.
