Mengin was born on 5 July 1853 in Paris to Auguste Charles Victor Mengin, a sculptor who died in 1894 in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.[1] He was educated in both painting and sculpture by Gecker,[citation needed]Alexandre Cabanel,[2]Paul Baudry, and sculptor Aimé Millet, at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Mengin mainly painted mythical scenes and portraits. He owes his place in art history mainly to his painting Sappho (1877), which can be seen in the Manchester Art Gallery.
