About the author

Michel Laclotte (27 October 1929 – Montauban, 10 August 2021) was a French art historian and museum director, specializing in 14th and 15th century Italian and French painting.

Laclotte championed the idea of turning Paris's gare d'Orsay into a museum, now the Musée d'Orsay. From 1978 he led the team that worked on the future museum's curatorial program until its opening in 1986.

During the 1980's, Laclotte was the director of the Louvre Museum in Paris who oversaw a period of massive change and renovation of that storied institution.
