Jean-Nicolas Huyot (1780 to 1840) was a French architect, best known for his 1823 continuation of the Arc de Triomphe from the plans of Jean-François Chalgrin. The son of a builder, he attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and won the Prix de Rome in 1807. Between 1817 and 1821 he traveled in Asia Minor, Egypt and Greece, taking part in the Cléopâtre expedition of 1817 and sending Champollion a collection of inscriptions from the temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, a contribution that helped Champollion decipher hieroglyphics. Elected to the Academy of Fine Arts of the Institut de France in 1822, he taught architects including Melchior Berri, Hector Lefuel, Alexis Paccard, Jean-Louis Victor Grisart and Jean-Charles Danjoy, and from 1823 he lectured on classical architectural history at the École des Beaux-Arts. He was buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery.
