Marie-Joséphine-Angélique Mongez, née Levol (1 May 1775, Conflans-l'Archevèque – 20 February 1855, Paris) was a French Neoclassical artist.
She studied under Jean-Baptiste Regnault and Jacques-Louis David and produced historical paintings.
She was the first woman to become a history painter during the post French Revolution era.
Mongez started studying under Jean-Baptiste Regnault in the early 1790s and then, after mastering the basics, she became a pupil of Jacques-Louis David, who at the time was one of the leaders of the Neoclassical movement in France.
Her work was featured at a number of salons between 1802 and 1827.
Some male reviewers criticized her for including depictions of nudity in her work.
