Pierre-Jacques Cazes (1676 – 25 June 1754) was a French painter who specialized in religious and mythological subjects.

[2] Cazes competed in the Prix de Rome competition of 1698 with Joseph’s Cup Found in Benjamin’s Belongings, but came in second place.

He won the next year with Vision of Jacob in Egypt, but chose not to go to Rome and instead remain in Paris.

[5] He worked in the Galerie d'Apollon in the Louvre in 1727 and produced a large number of religious paintings for churches in Paris and Versailles.

A portrait the artist wearing a wig and holding a portfolio was presented to the Académie Royale in 1734 by Chardin's friend Joseph Aved.
