Ambroise Vollard (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃bʁwaz vɔlaʁ]; 3 July 1866 – 21 July 1939) was a French art dealer who is regarded as one of the most important dealers in French contemporary art at the beginning of the twentieth century. He is credited with being a major supporter and champion of the contemporary artists of his period, providing exposure and emotional support to numerous then-unknown artists, including Paul Cézanne,^[1] Aristide Maillol, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Louis Valtat, Pablo Picasso,^[1] André Derain, Georges Rouault, Paul Gauguin, and Vincent van Gogh.^[2]

He was also an avid art collector and publisher, especially of print series by leading artists.
