Ernest Dagonet was a French sculptor. He came to Paris in 1881. A creator of bronze works, some of them animal sculptures, Dagonet was also a portraitist, but he did not neglect to sculpt religious, historical, and allegorical subjects. In 1886, he received an honorable mention at the Salon des Artistes Français for a Christ at the Tomb, now in the Saint-Dizier Museum. At the 1889 Paris Universal Exposition, he received a bronze medal, and then in 1890, at the Salon des Artistes Français, a third-class medal. In 1890, his marble statue, La Nuit Pleine (Full Night), was acquired by the State and placed in the Palais du Sénat (Senate Palace). In 1895, he received a bronze medal for his marble Eve, currently in the Musée du Luxembourg (Luxembourg Museum). The following year, he won a second-class medal at the Brussels International Exposition and then a silver medal at the 1900 Universal Exposition. He is responsible for Greuze's tomb in Montmartre Cemetery. He had married Moreau-Vauthier's daughter in 1885.
