Cyrille Gouyette is an art historian and chargé de mission at the Louvre Museum. He holds a DEA degree from the University of Paris I, Panthéon Sorbonne. Passionate about the links that can be woven between the arts and periods, his DEA thesis was already on a comparison between Byzantine and Italian parietal representations in the fourteenth century. He published with Jean-René Gaborit Les élans du corps : le mouvement dans la sculpture at the Louvre Museum in 2005, followed by Le nu féminin dans la peinture occidentale with Sonia Brunel, published by the same editor in 2008. We owe him more recently Une street histoire de l'art, published by Alternatives/Gallimard in 2021.
