Hippolyte Gevaert or Fierens-Gevaert (1870, Brussels - 1926, Liège) was a Belgian art historian, philosopher, art critic, singer and writer.

Life

He had studied at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles in 1890 and won first prize for singing. That same year he married Jacqueline Marthe Gevaert, daughter of the musician François-Auguste Gevaert (1828-1908). He then joined the Opéra de Lille, but an accident with his voice ended his singing career. He moved to Paris, where he began working as a journalist, writer and art critic and changed his surname to Fierens-Gevaert.

He later became the first curator of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and was also a professor of aesthetics and art history.
