Abel Lauvray (November 21, 1870 – December 19, 1950) was a French post-impressionist painter. Attached to this movement, Abel Lauvray is a painter of landscapes and portraits. Coming from a wealthy family of notaries, he met Claude Monet for the first time around 1880, then living about thirty meters from the family home in Vétheuil. He quickly befriends the painter who, ruined, is helped by the Lauvray family. When Monet returned to Vétheuil in 1893, Abel Lauvray accompanied the painter on the Seine on his boat-studio which he later sold to him.

In line with post-impressionism and strongly marked by his admiration for Claude Monet, Abel Lauvray excels in the restitution of the soft lights of the landscapes which surround him which he represents with great delicacy. While the majority of his work paints the banks of the Seine from Vétheuil to Mantes-la-Jolie, he also illustrates his frequent visits to Touraine and Villeneuve-les-Avignon, as well as his travels to Normandy, Antibes, the Somme, Venice or Greece.
